Which failure mode increases in a MOSFET-based DC-DC buck converter under high-frequency, light-load operation?

💡 Explanation

Elevated switching losses occur because parasitic capacitances repeatedly charge and discharge during each switching cycle; therefore, losses increase significantly. This leads to reduced converter efficiency, rather than causing gate oxide breakdown which arises from excessive voltage stress.
