TPS3808-EP: Power Dissipation Calculations

Part Number: TPS3808-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS3808

How does one calculate the power dissipation for this part? 

  • Hi Rahul,

    Power dissipation is calculated by the operating voltage and the IDD current going through the device.  Power for the TPS3808 is defined as VDD * IDD.   Also, you may want to include the power dissipation of the /RESET pin if a fault condition occurs.  The calculation for the power dissipation of the /RESET pin will depend on what pull-up resistor you will using which sets the current that goes into the pin.  The voltage for the power calculation will be the voltage seen at /RESET pin.
