3.3 W in a 10 mm x 10 mm package would be *interesting*.  The datasheet 
shows a junction to ambient thermal resistance of 40.8 degrees per Watt. 
  If it were actually dissipating 3.3 W, the junction temperature would 
be well into the 'don't do that' range.  Touching the case would 
definitely be a bad idea.
