Output Voltage Programming
according to the following equation :
much heat due to its high efficiency. But, in applications
where the AME5250 is running at high ambient tempera-
ture with low supply voltage and high duty cycles, such
as in dropout, the heat dissipated may exceed the maxi-
mum junction temperature of the part. If the junction tem-
perature reaches approximately 160
switches will be turned off and the SW node will become
high impedance. To avoid the AME5250 from exceeding
the maximum junction temperature, the user will need to
do some thermal analysis. The goal of the thermal analy-
sis is to determine whether the power dissipated exceeds
the maximum junction temperature of the part. The tem-
perature rise is given by:

Thermal Considerations
to the ambient temperature.
vider allows the FB pin to sense a fraction of the output
voltage as shown in Figure 4.
JA
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider
In most applications the AME5250 does not dissipate
Where PD is the power dissipated by the regulator and
Where VREF equals to 0.6V typical. The resistive di-
is the thermal resistance from the junction of the die
