(1) Maximum power dissipation may be limited by overcurrent protection
(2) Power rating at a specific ambient temperature, T
A, should be determined with a junction temperature of 150°C. This is the point where distortion starts to substantially increase. Thermal management of the PCB should strive to keep the junction temperature at or below 150°C for best performance and long-term reliability. See power dissipation estimate in
Application and Implementation for more information.
(3) Test board conditions:
- 2.5 inches × 2.5 inches, 4 layers, thickness: 0.062 inch
- 2-oz. copper traces located on the top of the PCB
- 2-oz. copper ground planes on the 2 internal layers and bottom layer
- 40.010-inch thermal vias located under the device package
(4) For information on thermal characteristics, see
SPRA953.
(5) Use polyimide PCB and thermal management to ensure operation below maximum TJ operation.
