Figure 15. Power losses estimation (V
The red trace represents the maximum power which can be taken away, as calculated
above, while the other traces are the total internal losses for different output voltages.
The embedded conduction losses are proportional to the duty cycle required for the
conversion. Assuming the input voltage constant, the switching losses are proportional to
the output current while the quiescent losses can be considered as constant.
As a consequence, in
system can manage a continuous output current up to 2.5 A. The device could deliver a
continuous output current up to 3 A to the load, however, the maximum power loss of 2.5 W
is reached with an output current of 2.5 A, so the maximum output power is derated.

At V
the total power loss is now lower than 2.5 W ((
conduction loss).
As a consequence, the calculation of the internal power losses must be done for each
specific operating condition given by the final application.
