3 HEAT SINK DIMENSIONING:
In order to avoid the thermal protection intervention, that is placed approximatively at Tj = 150°C, it is important
the dimensioning of 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)
3.1 Example:
VCC = 28V, Rload = 8ohm (left/right), Rload = 4ohm (centre), RTh j-c = 2.5°C/W , Tamb max = 50°C
