SLVSCP3C January 2015 – July 2016 TPS7B4253-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
For the layout of the TPS7B4253-Q1 device, place the input and output capacitors close to the devices as shown in the Functional Block Diagram. To enhance the thermal performance, TI recommends surrounding the device with some vias.
Minimize equivalent series inductance (ESL) and ESR to maximize performance and ensure stability. Place every capacitor as close as possible to the device and on the same side of the PCB as the regulator.
Do not place any of the capacitors on the opposite side of the PCB from where the regulator is installed. TI strongly discourages the use of vias and long traces for the path between the output capacitor and the OUT pins because vias can negatively impact system performance and even cause instability.
If possible, and to ensure the maximum performance specified in this data sheet, use the same layout pattern used for the TPS7B4253-Q1 evaluation board, TPS7B4253EVM, which is available at

Use Equation 5 to calculate the device power dissipation.
where
As IQ « IO, the term IQ × VI in Equation 5 can be ignored.
For a device under operation at a given ambient air temperature (TA), calculate the junction temperature (TJ) with Equation 6.
where
A rise in junction temperature because of power dissipation can be calculated with Equation 7.
For a given maximum junction temperature (TJmax), the maximum ambient air temperature (TAmax) at which the device can operate can be calculated with Equation 8.
