ΨJB of the package is based on modeling and Operating Junction Temperature Range −40°C to +125°C calculation using a 4-layer board. The JESD51-12, Guidelines for Soldering Conditions JEDEC J-STD-020 Reporting and Using Electronic Package Thermal Information, Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum states that thermal characterization parameters are not the same Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a as thermal resistances. ΨJB measures the component power stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these flowing through multiple thermal paths rather than a single or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational path as in thermal resistance, θJB. Therefore, ΨJB thermal paths section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond include convection from the top of the package as wel as the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may radiation from the package, factors that make ΨJB more useful affect product reliability. in real-world applications. Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the board temperature (TB) and power THERMAL DATA dissipation (PD) using the formula Absolute maximum ratings apply individual y only, not in TJ = TB + (PD × ΨJB) combination. The ADM7170 can be damaged when the See JESD51-8 and JESD51-12 for more detailed information junction temperature limits are exceeded. Monitoring ambient about Ψ temperature does not guarantee that T JB. J is within the specified temperature limits. In applications with high power dissipation THERMAL RESISTANCE and poor thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature θJA, θJC, and ΨJB are specified for the worst-case conditions, that may need to be derated. is, a device soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount In applications with moderate power dissipation and low packages. printed circuit board (PCB) thermal resistance, the maximum Table 5. Thermal Resistance ambient temperature can exceed the maximum limit provided that the junction temperature is within specification limits. The Package TypeθJAθJCΨJBUnit junction temperature (T 8-Lead LFCSP 36.4 23.5 13.3 °C/W J) 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 ESD CAUTION package (θJA). Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the ambient temperature (TA) and power dissipation (PD) using the formula T J = TA + (PD × θJA) Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of the package is based on modeling and calculation using a 4-layer board. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly dependent on the application and board layout. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, close attention to thermal board design is required. The value of θJA may vary, depending on Rev.
