Linear regulator power dissipation calculator

This calculator helps you to compute power dissipated in a linear voltage regulator based input voltage, output voltage and output load current.This calculator needs at least three inputs to compute results.

**VIN & VOUT : Input, PD & IOUT : Input/Output






FORMULA:

Power dissipation is given by the formula

PD = ( VIN - VOUT ) x IOUT

To calculate the output current

IOUT = PD / ( VIN - VOUT )
