Description
This thermal model assumes that
a 16-pin dual-channel (SOIC-16)
optocoupler is soldered into an
8.5 cm x 8.1 cm printed circuit
board (PCB). These optocouplers
are hybrid devices with four die:
two LEDs and two detectors. The
temperature at the LED and the
detector of the optocoupler can
be calculated by using the
equations below.

∆TE1A = Temperature difference between ambient and LED 1
∆TE2A = Temperature difference between ambient and LED 2
∆TD1A = Temperature difference between ambient and detector 1
∆TD2A = Temperature difference between ambient and detector 2
PE1 = Power dissipation from LED 1;
PE2 = Power dissipation from LED 2;
PD1 = Power dissipation from detector 1;
PD2 = Power dissipation from detector 2
Axy thermal coefficient (units in °C/W) is a function of thermal
impedances θ1 through θ10.
