2.1 Thermal Management
Device high current characterization was performed using Kunze heat sink KU 1-159, phase change thermal interface
material KU-ALC 5, and transistor clip KU 4-499/1. This combination provided an approximate junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance of 12.5°C/W.
2.2 Heat Sink Calculation
Higher load currents are possible by using lower thermal resistance heat sink combinations.

T_J = Junction Temperature (°C), T_J ≤ 100°C *
T_A = Ambient Temperature (°C)
I_L(99) = Load Current with Case Temperature @ 99°C (A_DC)
I_L = Desired Operating Load Current (A_DC), I_L ≤ I_L(MAX)
R_θJC = Thermal Resistance, Junction to Case (°C/W) = 0.35°C/W
R_θCA = Thermal Resistance of Heat Sink & Thermal Interface Material , Case to Ambient (°C/W)
P_D(99) = Maximum power dissipation with case temperature held at 99ºC = 2.86W
* Elevated junction temperature reduces semiconductor lifetime.
