a. No heat sink, TA = 70°C. This is an estimate, based on a 4-layer PCB that conforms to EIA/JESD51–7
(101.6 mm × 101.6 mm × 1.6 mm) and P = 1.119W continuous dissipation.
Junction Temperature Estimation and PSI_JT Versus THETA_JC
Package thermal characterization parameter PSI–J_T (_JT) yields a better estimation of actual junction
temperature (T_J) versus using the junction-to-case thermal resistance parameter Theta–J_C (_JC). The reason
for this is that _JC assumes that all the power is dissipated through the top surface of the package case. In actual
applications, some of the power is dissipated through the bottom and sides of the package. _JT takes into
account power dissipated through the top, bottom, and sides of the package. The equation for calculating the
device junction temperature is:
T_J = T_T + P x _JT
Where:
• T_J = Junction temperature at steady-state condition (°C)
• T_T = Package case top center temperature at steady-state condition (°C)
• P = Device power dissipation (Watts)
• _JT = Package thermal characteristics; no airflow (°C/W)
