TPS54A20EVM-770, 10-A, SWIFT™ regulator evaluation module
2.2
Efficiency
The efficiency of this EVM peaks at a load current of about 5 A and then decreases as the load current
increases toward full load.
shows the efficiency for the TPS54A20EVM-770 at an ambient
temperature of 25°C.
Figure 1. TPS54A20EVM-770 Efficiency
shows the efficiency for the TPS54A20EVM-770 using a semi-log scale to more easily show
efficiency at lower output currents. The ambient temperature is 25°C.
Figure 2. TPS54A20EVM-770 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.
