TPS2660: Power Dissipation

Part Number: TPS2660


How does one calculate the power dissipation for this device?

  • Hello Ravi,

    During steady state operation, (when Output Current is in steady state) the power dissipated by TPS2660 can be calculated by below equation:

    PD = (VIN-VOUT) x IIN

    While during start up, the power dissipated is a function of inrush current and load on the TPS2660.

    Section 10.2.2.5.1 and 10.2.2.5.2 on Page 29 and Page 30 of the datasheet (http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps2660.pdf ) illustrates power dissipated in start-up.
    Let me know if you have any further query on this.
