Figure 25. θJA vs Copper (1 Ounce) Area for DDPAK/TO-263 package
As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. The
minimum value for θJA for the DDPAK/TO-263 package mounted to a two-layer PCB is 32°C/W.
Figure 26 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation for DDPAK/TO-263 packages for different ambient
temperatures, assuming θJA is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C.
