5. Consideration on Permissible Dissipation and Heat Generation
Since 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 the DC resistance of inductor and ON-Resistance of FET are considered.
This is because conduction losses are most significant among other dissipations mentioned above such as gate
charge/discharge dissipation and switching dissipation.

D is the ON duty (=VOUT/VCC)
RONP is the ON-Resistance of P-Channel MOS FET
RONN is the ON-Resistance of N-Channel MOS FET
IOUT is the Output current

(MSOP8)
If VCC=5V, VOUT=1.5V, RCOIL=0.15Ω, RONP=0.35Ω, RONN=0.25Ω
IOUT=0.8A, for example,
D=VOUT/VCC=1.5/5=0.3
RON=0.3 x 0.35+(1-0.3) x 0.25
=0.105+0.175
=0.28[Ω]
P=0.82 x (0.15+0.28) ≈ 275.2[mW]
Since RONP is greater than RONN in this IC, the dissipation increases as the ON duty becomes higher. Taking into
consideration the dissipation shown above, thermal design must be carried out with allowable sufficient margin.
