APPLICATION INFORMATION
general PowerPAD™ design considerations (continued)
The actual thermal performance achieved with the THS403xDGN in its PowerPAD™ package depends on the
application. In the example above, if the size of the internal ground plane is approximately 3 inches × 3 inches,
then the expected thermal coefficient, θ_JA, is about 58.4_C/W. For comparison, the non-PowerPAD™ version
+ ǒ Ǔ ^{of the THS403x IC (SOIC) is shown. For a given θJA, the maximum power dissipation is shown in Figure 56 and}
is calculated by the following formula:
PD
TMAX–TA
q_JA
Where:
P_D = Maximum power dissipation of THS403x IC (watts)
T_MAX = Absolute maximum junction temperature (150°C)
T_A = Free-ambient air temperature (°C)
θ_JA = θ_JC + θ_CA
θ_JC = Thermal coefficient from junction to case
θ_CA = Thermal coefficient from case to ambient air (°C/W)
