  • Agxin,

    The most useful formula calculates the power dissipated. This is the heat that must be removed from the LDO.
    P = (VIN -VOUT) * IOUT
    To be more accurate also add VIN * IQ

    It is easiest to let "Webench designer" make a circuit for you.

    Look for this box on the ti.com main web page.
