POWER DISSIPATION, THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Power dissipated by the ADP2114 dual switching regulator is a
major factor that affects the efficiency of the two dc-to-dc
converters. The efficiency is given by

Transition losses occur because the P-channel power MOSFET
cannot be turned on or off instantaneously. The amount of
transition loss is calculated by
where t

the switching node are in the order of 5 ns.

When designing an application for a particular ambient
temperature range, calculate the expected ADP2114 power
dissipation (P
losses of both channels by using Equation 24, Equation 25,
and Equation 26 and estimate the temperature rise by using
Equation 27 and Equation 28. The reliable operation of the
two converters can be achieved only if the estimated die junction
temperature of the ADP2114 (Equation 27) is less than 125°C.
Therefore, at higher ambient temperatures, reduce the power
dissipation of the system. Figure 83 provides the power derating
for the elevated ambient temperature at different air flow
conditions. The area below the curves is the safe operation area
for ADP2114 dual regulators.
