Targeted Thermal Specifications
The 82544EI device
of 0° − 55°C.
is
specified
for
operation
when
TA

the
range
TC (case temperature) is calculated using the equation:
TC = TA + P (θJA - θ JC)
TJ (junction temperature) is calculated using the equation:
TJ = TA + P θJA
P (power consumption) is calculated by using the typical Icc as indicated in Table 4 and nominal
Vcc. The thermal resistances are shown in Table 22.

Thermal resistances are determined empirically with test devices mounted on standard thermal test
boards. Real system designs may have somewhat different characteristics due to board thickness,
arrangement of ground planes, and proximity of other components. Use case temperature
measurements to assure that the 82544EI device is operating under recommended conditions.
