Efficiency
The efficiency of this EVM peaks at a load current of about 0.5 A – 1 A, and then decreases as the load
current increases towards full load.
shows the efficiency for the TPS54334EVM-722 at an
ambient temperature of 25°C.
Figure 1. TPS54334EVM-722 Efficiency
shows the efficiency for the TPS54334EVM-722 on a semi-log scale to better show light load
efficiency. The ambient temperature is 25°C.
Figure 2. TPS54334EVM-722 Low Current Efficiency
The efficiency may be lower at higher ambient temperatures, due to temperature variation in the drain-to-
source resistance of the internal MOSFET.
