IQ is the quiescent operating current, and is typically around 8.4 mA (IQVINC = 4.7 mA + IQVIND = 3.7 mA) for the
550-kHz frequency option.
Due to Dead-Time-Control Logic in the converter, there is a small delay (~4 nsec) between the turn ON and OFF
of the TOP and BOTTOM FET. During this time, the body diode of the BOTTOM FET is conducting with a
voltage drop of VBDIODE (~0.65 V). This allows the inductor current to circulate to the output, until the BOTTOM
FET is turned ON and the inductor current passes through the FET. There is a small amount of power loss due
to this body diode conducting and it can be calculated as follows:
PBDIODE = 2 × (VBDIODE × IOUT × FSW × TBDIODE
)

Typical Application power losses are:
PLOSS = ΣPCOND + PSW + PBDIODE + PIND + PQ
PINTERNAL = ΣPCOND + PSW+ PBDIODE + PQ

These calculations assume a junction temperature of 25°C. The RDSON values will be larger due to internal
heating; therefore, the internal power loss (PINTERNAL) must be first calculated to estimate the rise in junction
temperature.
