The inductor power is:

where ESR
IND
is the inductor equivalent series resistance.
The LDO pass transistor power is:

where V
C
is the collector voltage on the NPN pass tran-

Example: An LT3507 design requirements are:

V1 = 2.5V at I1 = 1.6A
V2 = 3.3V at I2 = 0.8A (used for boost, bias and V4)
V3 = 1.2V at I3 = 1A
V4 = 3V at I4 = 0.2A (from 3.3V output)

Remember, the total current from channel 2 is I2 + I4 since
the LDO pass transistor draws from V2. Ignore bias and
boost currents.

The total dissipation on the LT3507 is the sum of all these
and is equal to 0.73W. Note that this is less than half of

. Next, the power dissipation of the external
components are:

=0.05W, P
DIODE3
=0.36W
and P

=0.05W. And finally:
P
NPN
=0.2A(3.3V – 3V)=0.06W
Thus the total power dissipated by the LT3507 and external
components is 2.08W. The thermal analysis will use these
power dissipations to calculate the internal component
temperatures. Make sure that none of the components
exceed their rated temperature limits.
