System-level Characteristics
In an application, the following system-level characteristics and environmental issues must be
taken into account:
•
Package mounting (vertical / horizontal)
•
System airflow conditions (laminar / turbulent)
•
Heat sink design and thermal characteristics
•
Heat sink attachment method
•
PWB size, layer count and conductor thickness
•
Influence of the heat dissipating components assembled on the PWB (neighboring effects)
Example on Thermal Data Usage
Based on the Theta
JA
data and specified conditions, the following formula can be used to derive
the junction temperature (Tj) of the Tsi572 with a 0m/s airflow:
•
Tj = è
JA *
P + Tamb.
Where: Tj is Junction Temperature, P is the Power consumption, Tamb is the Ambient
Temperature
Assuming a power consumption (P) of3 W and an ambient temperature (Tamb) of 70
C, the
resulting junction temperature (Tj) would be 109
C.
