STCS1 Datasheet, PDF (11/17 Pages) STMicroelectronics – 1.5 A max constant current LED driver

STCS1
Application information
– Package: DFN8 3x3 mm;
– T_A = 50°C;
In this case V_DRAIN = 12 - 3 x 3.6 = 1.2 V
P_D = (1.2 - 0.1) x 0.5 + 12 x 0.5 x 10^-3 = 0.55 + 6 x 10^-3 = 556 mW
The junction temperature will be:
T_J = 37.6 x 0.556 + 50 = 70.9°C.
The following pictures show the maximum power dissipation according to the ambient
temperature for both packages:
