It would help (some of us anyway :-) ) if you specified eg Vin, Iin, Vout, Rl on each post where these are relevant. We can go back and garner same on each post. Ton toff also useful - was 5 uS/2 uS but may change. We/I may not remember eg the load value from post to post. Some may and it MAY be the same as N posts ago. Or not. If Rl is 6R8 still then Pout is now about 2.5W. My above calcns at 70 uH, 9V, 5 uS on suggested that power in would be about 2.9W. IF so then you now have about 2.5/2.9 efficiency =3D~ 86%. Sounds good. What you measure for Iin I know not andI assume Vin =3D 9V but ... . . In this case Vin is V at FET source (and probably max +ve Vgate but than can be higher +ve if you wish). Vgs must fall to about 0V differential whejn the FET is meant to be off.
