1. Layout, power loss and packaging to address thermal concerns with integrated FET DC/DC converters

What you’ll learn:

  • How the current ratings for TI DC/DC converters are defined and what they mean in practice
  • The tradeoffs of various board layout variables when designing with a HotRodTM package
  • The difference in performance between HotRodTM and traditional QFN by evaluating the same part in both packages.
