AAT1112 Losses
Total losses can be estimated by calculating the dropout (VIN = VO) losses where the power MOSFET RDS(ON)
will be at the maximum value. All values assume an 85°C ambient temperature and a 120°C junction temper-
ature with the TDFN 50°C/W package.
PLOSS = IO12 · RDS(ON)H = 1.5A2 · 0.16Ω = 0.36W
TJ(MAX) = TAMB + ΘJA · PLOSS = 85°C + (50°C/W) · 360mW = 103°C
The total losses are also investigated at the nominal lithium-ion battery voltage (3.6V). The simplified version
of the RDS(ON) losses assumes that the N-channel and P-channel RDS(ON) are equal.
PTOTAL = IO2 · RDS(ON) + (tsw · FS · IO + IQ) · VIN
= 1.5A2 · 152mΩ + (5ns · 1.2MHz · 1.5A + 50μA) · 3.6V = 375mW
TJ(MAX) = TAMB + ΘJA · PLOSS = 85°C + (50°C/W) · 375mW = 104°C
