SLUU186 − March 2004
11 TPS40055-Based Design Converts 12-V Bus to 1.8 V at 15 A (HPA070)
6 Test Results / Performance Data
6.1 Efficiency and Power Loss
Figure 3 shows the efficiency as the load is varied from 1 A to over 15 A. The typical efficiency remains over
90% as the load ranges from 3 A to 12 A.
