BD9141MUV
Technical Note
●Consideration on permissible dissipation and heat generation
As this IC functions with high efficiency without significant heat generation in most applications, no special consideration is
needed on permissible dissipation or heat generation. In case of extreme conditions, however, including lower input voltage,
higher output voltage, heavier load, and/or higher temperature, the permissible dissipation and/or heat generation must be
carefully considered.
For dissipation, only conduction losses due to DC resistance of inductor and ON resistance of FET are considered.
Because the conduction losses are considered to play the leading role among other dissipation mentioned above including
gate charge/discharge dissipation and switching dissipation.

P=IOUT²Ã—RON
RON=D×RONP+(1-D)RONN
D：ON duty (=VOUT/VCC)
RCOIL：DC resistance of coil
RONP：ON resistance of P-channel MOS FET
RONN：ON resistance of N-channel MOS FET
IOUT：Output current
If VCC=8V, VOUT=5V, RONP=0.15Ω, RONN=0.08Ω
IOUT=2A, for example,
D=VOUT/VCC=5/8=0.625
RON=0.625×0.15+(1-0.625)×0.08
=0.09375+0.03
=0.12375[Ω]
P=2²Ã—0.12375＝0.495[W]
As RONP is greater than RONN in this IC, the dissipation increases as the ON duty becomes greater. With the consideration on
the dissipation as above, thermal design must be carried out with sufficient margin allowed.
