2.3 Power Dissipation
The low junction-to-case thermal resistance of the PWP package, along with
a good board layout, allows the TPS54110EVM−044 EVMs to output full-rated
load current while maintaining safe junction temperatures. With a 3.3-V input
source and a 1.5-A load, the junction temperature is approximately 60°C
wheras the case temperature is approximately 55°C. The total circuit losses
at 25°C are shown in Figure 2−3. Power dissipation is shown for input voltages
of 3.3 V, and 5 V. For additional information on the dissipation ratings of the
devices, see the individual product data sheets.
