Maximum power loss =6.4W /2 = 3.2W
Normalized power loss for input voltage ≈ 0.93
Normalized power loss for output voltage ≈ 1.075
Normalized power loss for frequency ≈ 1.0
Normalized power loss for inductor value ≈ 0.98
Adjusted Power Loss = 3.2W x 0.93 x 1.075 x 1.0 x 0.98 ≈ 3.13W
Total device power loss = 3.7W + 3.13W ≈ 6.8W
Example 2) Adjusting for SOA Temperature:
Assuming TCASE = 110°C & TPCB = 90°C for both outputs
Output1 (Fig. 4) Normalized SOA Temperature for input voltage ≈ -2.3°C
(Fig. 5) Normalized SOA Temperature for output voltage ≈ -0.6°C
(Fig. 6) Normalized SOA Temperature for frequency ≈ 0°C
(Fig. 7) Normalized SOA Temperature for inductor value ≈−0.7°C
TX axis intercept temp adjustment = -2.3°C - 0.6°C + 1.9°C - 0.7°C ≈ -3.6°C
The following example shows how the SOA current is adjusted for a TX change of -3.6°C and output 1 is in SOA
