Hi TI TEAM,
I would like to know the effiency of this LM22670MRE-ADJ/NOPB regulator in the low current region.
On the datasheet, the effiency curve is shown on Fig. 20, but it does not show the efficiency in the
low current region.
The customer showed the input / output condition as the following.
Input voltage : 36Vdc
Input current : 0.08A
Output voltage : 5.0Vdc
Output current : 0.225A
In the above condition, the efficiency is about 39%.
On the datasheet, the effiency is not shown in the low current region.
Could you ask the MFG to show the effiency in the low current region for reference?
1. If you think this effiency is too low as a good IC, could you advice the customer how to raise
the effienciency?
2. If you think this effiency is normal, could you show what makes the effiency of this IC low as
a standard switching regulator?
Thank you for your support.
Best Regards
Takashi
