Thermal Calculations
There are three types of losses associated with the
AAT2146 step-down converter: switching losses, con-
duction losses, and quiescent current losses. Conduction
losses are associated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of
the power output switching devices. Switching losses are
dominated by the gate charge of the power output
switching devices. At full load, assuming continuous con-
duction mode (CCM), a simplified form of the losses is
given by:
PTOTAL
=
IO2
·
(RDSON(HS)
·
VO
+ RDSON(LS)
VIN
·
[VIN

VO])
+ (tsw · F · IO + IQ) · VIN
IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The
term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down con-
verter switching losses.
For the condition where the step-down converter is in
dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation
reduces to:
PTOTAL = IO2 · RDSON(HS) + IQ · VIN
Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all
vary with input voltage, the total losses should be inves-
tigated over the complete input voltage range.
Given the total losses, the maximum junction tempera-
ture can be derived from the θJA for the SC70JW-8 pack-
age which is 160°C/W.
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB
