Yeah, nice, a start to finding a solution.
Don't you think, this is and should be the most important thing to find the reason for before any OU can be achieved? I certainly do.
How can we know where to look if only know where half the Energy we dissipate is in fact going to? Or another way to look at this, we have an issue with accounting for energy between Point A and Point C! Where Point A is connected to B and then to C.
How can we just all of a sudden Loose half of it?
Take a pipe, three lengths, Water flows in one pipe, at the end, we see a "Y" Intersection, then we should be able to add the Water Volume out of both of the ends of the "Y" Intersection to get the total on the Input. 1/2 + 1/2 = 1. This is not what we are getting!
Chris, I am uncertain why you still think that the output to 0V measurement is valid? It is not. There is no valid 3.3W output power measurement, and no missing power related to it. The input power was measured at approximately 1.6W, and the output power dissipated in the load resistor is approximately 0.6W. So there is indeed 1W of missing power, and if one were to measure the power dissipated in the diode, and in the MOSFET itself, one would find that missing 1W. All the power is accounted for.
