This reference design demonstrates a 15 mm x 20 mm: 94% efficiency: low electromagnetic interference (EMI) DC/DC module with the TPS54202: replacing low dropout regulator (LDO) in major home appliance applications. High efficiency eliminates the need of heat sink for a smaller design and and more cost savings. The higher current capability enables additional features to be added (WiFi: sensors: etc ). The high efficiency and low current consumption help achieving stringent energy ratings.
