The measured power consumption test was performed while running the EtherCAT slave firmware on the
AMIC110 ICE connected to a TwinCAT3 terminal on the PC.

The power consumption was measured by removing the 0-
Ω
resistors attached to each power rail and
measuring with a multimeter over the removed resistor. See the
for resistor
details.
A multimeter was connected at the 5-V input to measure the input current.
The total power consumption of the board is 0.907 W. The total supply current from the 5-V system power
supply is 248 mA, giving an input power of 1.240 W from the 5-V rail; this means that the overall efficiency
of the TPS650250 is around 78% for the complete system, with 0.333 W of power dissipation in the
TPS650250 package.
Using the given package thermal performance from the datasheet, use
to calculate the
expected temperature increase of the part.

At 85°C ambient, the estimated junction temperature is 96.7°C.
The maximum operating junction temperature of the TPPS650250 is 125°C. If running the TPS650250 at
85°C ambient temperature, the device could dissipate 1.18 W without forced cooling.
