Thermal Dissipation

The junction temperature can be determined using the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) and the total power dissipation (PD). Use Equation 7 to calculate the power dissipation. Multiply PD by RθJA as Equation 8 shows and add the ambient temperature (TA) to calculate the junction temperature (TJ).

Equation 7. PD = (IGND+ IOUT) × (VIN – VOUT)
Equation 8. TJ = RθJA × PD + TA

Calculate the maximum ambient temperature as Equation 9 shows if the (TJ(MAX)) value does not exceed 125°C. Equation 10 calculates the maximum ambient temperature with a value of 104.93°C.

Equation 9. TA(MAX) = TJ(MAX) – RθJA × PD
Equation 10. TA(MAX) = 125°C – 80.3°C/W × (3.8 V – 3.3 V) × (0.5 A) = 104.93°C
