Hello,
Our 160W two transistor forward converter simulaton (LTSpice) switches in a noisy and irregular manner when synchronous FETs are used with higher “Qg”.
(the ‘synchronous fets’ are the secondary side fets)

This seems to me that it may be a fault of the simulator(?), because changing the synchronous FETs to an almost similar FET, with a slightly lower Qg parameter, completely solves the problem, and it switchs smoothly. Is this a fault of the simulator?

Using IPB107N20N3 FETs causes noisy switching.
Using BSC900N20NS FETs switches smoothly and properly.

Please find attached the simulations (LTspice), with the non-noisy, and the noisy switching.

Do you believe this is a simulator fault?
