Where the symbol in Figure 40 is defined as the following:
φINT-TOP
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the top side
of the package.
φINT-PCB
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the circuit board it is
mounted on, assuming all customer PCB connections at one temperature.
φINT-VIN
φINT-VS1
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the circuit board it is
mounted on at the VIN pad.
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the circuit board it is
mounted on at the VS1 pad.
φINT-PGND
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the circuit board it is
mounted on at the PGND pad.
φINT-VS2
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the circuit board it is
mounted on at the VS2 pad.
φINT-VOUT
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the circuit board it is
mounted on at the VOUT pad.
φINT-SGND
is defined as the thermal impedance from the hottest component junction inside the SiP to the circuit board it is
mounted on at the SGND pad.
The following equation can predict the junction temperature based on the heat load applied to the SiP and the known ambient conditions
with the simplified thermal circuit model:
