(1) Based on thermal simulations using 40 mm x 40
mm x 1.6 mm
4 layer PCB – 2 oz Cu on top and bottom layers, 1 oz Cu on internal
planes with 0.3 mm thermal via drill diameter, 0.025 mm Cu plating, 1 minimum mm
via pitch.
(5) Estimated transient current capability at 85 °C
ambient temperature for junction temperature rise up to 150°C
(3) Only conduction losses (I2R)
considered
(4) Switching loss roughly estimated by the
following equation:
Equation 1. PSW =
VVM x ILoad x fPWM x VVM/SR,
where VVM = 13.5 V, fPWM = 20 KHz, SR = 23
