TPS54336AEVM-010 3-A Regulator Evaluation Module
2.2
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 TPS54336AEVM-010 at an
ambient temperature of 25°C.
Figure 1. TPS54336AEVM-010 Efficiency
shows the efficiency for the TPS54336AEVM-010 on a semi-log scale to better show light load
efficiency. The ambient temperature is 25°C.
Figure 2. TPS54336AEVM-010 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.
