Heatsink dimensioning
Heatsink dimensioning
In order to avoid triggering the thermal protection which is set approximatively at Tj = 150°C,
it is important to correctly dimension the heat sinker RTh (°C/W).
The parameters that influence the dimensioning are:
● Maximum dissipated power for the device (Pdmax)
● Max. thermal resistance junction to case (RTh j-c)
● Max. ambient temperature Tamb max
● Quiescent current Iq (mA)
Example:
VCC = 9.5 V, Rload = 8 ohm, RTh j-c = 2.5 °C/W , Tamb max = 50 °C
