Thermal Considerations
43.1.1
Thermal Data
 summarizes the thermal resistance data depending on the package. 
43.1.2
Junction Temperature
The average chip-junction temperature, T
J
, in °C can be obtained from the following:
1.
2.
where:
θ
JA 
= package thermal resistance, Junction-to-ambient (°C/W), provided in 
.
θ
JC 
= package thermal resistance, Junction-to-case thermal resistance (°C/W), provided in 
θ
HEAT SINK 
= cooling device thermal resistance (°C/W), provided in the device datasheet.
• P
= device power consumption (W) estimated from data provided in 
• T
= ambient temperature (°C).
From the first equation, the user can derive the estimated lifetime of the chip and decide if a
cooling device is necessary or not. If a cooling device is to be fitted on the chip, the second
equation should be used to compute the resulting average chip-junction temperature T
J
 in °C.
