Pd is easily calculated.
A simple way to determine Pd is to calculate V
In×IIn
when the output side is shorted. Input current gradually
falls as output voltage rises after working thermal
shutdown. You should use the value when thermal
equilibrium is reached.

Procedure (When mounted on PCB.)
1. Find Pd (V
In×IIn
when the output side is short-
circuited).
2. Plot Pd against 25
°C.
3. Connect Pd to the point corresponding to the 150
°C
with a straight line.
4. In design, take a vertical line from the maximum
operating temperature (e.g., 75
°C) to the derating
curve.
5. Read off the value of Pd against the point at which the
vertical line intersects the derating curve. This is taken
as the maximum power dissipation DPd.
6. DPd
÷ (V
In,MAXVOut)=IOut (at 75°C)
The maximum output current at the highest operating
temperature will be I
Out DPd ÷ (VIn,MAXVOut).
Please use the device at low temperature with better
radiation. The lower temperature provides better quality.
12-3. On/Off Control
It is recommended to turn the regulator Off when the
circuit following the regulator is not operating. A design
with little electric power loss can be implemented. We
recommend the use of the On/Off control of the regulator
without using a high side switch to provide an output
from the regulator. A highly accurate output voltage with
low voltage drop is obtained.
Because the control current is small, it is possible to
control it directly by CMOS logic.

The above figure is multiple regulators being controlled
by a single On/Off control signal. There is concern of
overheating, because the power loss of the low voltage
side IC (TK63115B/H/S) is large. The series resistor (R)
is put in the input line of the low output voltage regulator
in order to prevent over-dissipation. The voltage dropped
across the resistor reduces the large input-to-output
voltage
across
the
regulator,
reducing
the
power
dissipation in the device. When the thermal sensor works,
a decrease of the output voltage, oscillation, etc. may be
observed.

When TK631xxB (FC-4) is exposed to strong light, the
electrical characteristics change. Please confirm the
influence by light in your design.
