The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly dependent on VIN to GND −0.3 V to +7 V the application and PCB layout. In applications where high VREG to GND −0.3 V to VIN, or +4 V (whichever is less) maximum power dissipation exists, close attention to thermal VOUT to GND −0.3 V to VREG, or +4 V PCB design is required. The value of θJA can vary, depending on (whichever is less) PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. The BYP to VOUT ±0.3 V specified values of θJA are based on a 4-layer, 4 in. × 3 in. circuit EN to GND −0.3 V to +7 V board. See JESD51-7 and JESD51-9 for detailed information on BYP to GND −0.3 V to VREG, or +4 V the board construction.

The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is dependent on the ambient temperature (TA), the power dissipation of the device (PD), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the package (θ JA). Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T A) and power dissipation (PD) using the following formula: TJ = TA + (PD × θJA) Rev.
