Power Considerations – LVDS Outputs
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the ICS8743008I.
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1. Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the ICS8743008I is the sum of the core power plus the analog power plus the power dissipated in the
load(s). The following is the power dissipation for V_DD = 3.3V + 5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results.
• Power (core)_MAX = V_{DD_MAX} * (I_{DD_MAX} + I_{DDA_MAX}) = 3.465V * (187mA + 11mA) = 686.07mW
• Power (outputs)_MAX = V_{DDO_MAX} * I_{DDO_MAX} = 3.465V * 155mA = 537.08mW
Total Power__MAX = 686.07mW + 537.08mW = 1223.15mW

2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad and directly affects the reliability of the device.
The maximum recommended junction temperature for HiPerClockS devices is 125°C.
The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj = θ_JA * Pd_total + T_A
Tj = Junction Temperature
θ_JA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)
T_A = Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θ_JA must be used. Assuming no air flow
and a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 31.4°C/W per Table 7 below.
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 85°C with all outputs switching is:
85°C + 1.223W * 31.4°C/W = 123.4°C. This is below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow and the type
of board.
