I found a difference between power dissipation WEBENCH and calculation by data sheet. The difference is about 200%.
Please inform power dissipation equations of WEBENCH in TPS54240.
Result of my calculate and WEBENCH are below. And my conditions for the application are; VIN=42 V, VO=15V, IO=0.5A, fsw=1000KHz
WEBENCH 0.80W
Datasheet calculate 0.37W
Then equations of datasheet are as below and Rds(on) =0.2
Hi Kenji-san,
The datasheet equations have not considered a few other losses. Also, WEBENCH® considers temperature rise and updates Rdson according to the temperature coefficient.
Below are the equations used in WEBENCH for this device:
Psw = 0.5 * Vin *Iout_Usr *(Trise+Tfall) *fsw (~345mW for your design specs)
Pgd = fsw*Qg*Vin; (~420mW for your design specs)
Pcond = I_fetrms*I_fetrms* Rdson (higher than datasheet loss because Rdson temperature effects are also considered - about 29mW for your design specs)
Piq = Iq* Vin; (~6mW - 138uA is the value of Iq used)
The accuracy of these equations with this device is around 3% for high load and about 5% for light load conditions.

Thank s for your quick response . I have confirmed items you noticed equations.
1. Trise+Tfall ( I see their mean are temperature deltacoefficient.) And what unit is there's.
2. I_ferms
And are these equations used other Switcher pro device in WEBENCH.

Kenji-san,
1. Trise and Tfall are the rise and fall time for the FET internal to the chip and the unit's are typically in nanoseconds(ns).
2. I_fetrms is the RMS current through the internal FET and is Iout* Dutycycle^0.5 (Ampere). Duty cycle calculations take into consideration the losses as well.
As this device is now supported in WEBENCH®, I provided the equations used in WEBENCH.
