Keywords: thermal-derating  PWM controllers  MOSFET  DC-DC converter 

[Summary of tips] Modern DC-DC converters use PWM controllers with integrated MOSFETs to achieve the highest power density for DC-DC modules. Since the power MOSFETs are inside the PWM chip, they can significantly affect the thermal performance of the device. For optimal device performance, it is thus critical to establish the thermal-derating a......
