Figure 8-3 to Figure 8-6 provide derating curves obtained using the LM65680 buck regulator EVM, giving an RθJA
of approximately 18°C/W. The actual performance for a given application depends on
the previously mentioned factors. Use the Thermal Design Resources as a guide for thermal design of the PCB and to estimate RθJA
for a given application environment.
