PRODUCTION DATA.
The following formulas show how to estimate the IC power dissipation under continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation. The power dissipation of the IC (Ptot) includes conduction loss (Pcon), dead time loss (Pd), switching loss (Psw), gate drive loss (Pgd) and supply current loss (Pq).
Pcon = Io2 × RDS_on_Temp
Pd = ƒsw × Io × 0.7 × 40 × 10–9
Psw = 1/2 × Vin × Io × ƒsw× 7 × 10–9
Pgd = 2 × Vin × ƒsw× 6 × 10–9
Pq = Vin × 525 × 10–6
Where:
IO is the output current (A).
RDS_on_Temp is the on-resistance of the high-side MOSFET with given temperature (Ω).
Vin is the input voltage (V).
ƒsw is the switching frequency (Hz).
So
Ptot = Pcon + Pd + Psw + Pgd + Pq
For given TA,
TJ = TA + Rth × Ptot
For given TJMAX = 150°C
TAmax = TJmax – Rth × Ptot
Where:
Ptot is the total device power dissipation (W).
TA is the ambient temperature (°C).
TJ is the junction temperature (°C).
Rth is the thermal resistance of the package (°C/W).
TJMAX is maximum junction temperature (°C).
TAMAX is maximum ambient temperature (°C).
There are additional power losses in the regulator circuit due to the inductor AC and DC losses and trace resistance that impact the overall efficiency of the regulator.
