PRODUCTION DATA.
Power consumption of the LMK04208 device can be high enough to require attention to thermal management. For reliability and performance reasons the die temperature should be limited to a maximum of 125 °C. That is, as an estimate, TA (ambient temperature) plus device power consumption times RθJA should not exceed 125 °C.
The package of the device has an exposed pad that provides the primary heat removal path as well as excellent electrical grounding to a printed circuit board. To maximize the removal of heat from the package a thermal land pattern including multiple vias to a ground plane must be incorporated on the PCB within the footprint of the package. The exposed pad must be soldered down to ensure adequate heat conduction out of the package.
A recommended land and via pattern is shown at the end of the datasheet, 机械、封装和可订购信息. More information on soldering WQFN packages can be obtained from www.ti.com/packaging/.
To minimize junction temperature, TI recommends that a simple heat sink be built into the PCB (if the ground plane layer is not exposed). This is done by including a copper area on the opposite side of the PCB from the device. This copper area may be plated or solder coated to prevent corrosion, but should not have conformal coating (if possible), which could provide thermal insulation.
