9.1.1 Thermal Performance

The datasheet-specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RθJA, is primarily useful for comparing various drivers or approximating thermal performance. However, the actual system performance may be better or worse than this value depending on PCB stackup, routing, number of vias, and copper area around the thermal pad. The length of time the driver drives a particular current will also impact power dissipation and thermal performance. This section considers how to design for steady-state and transient thermal conditions.

The data in this section was simulated using the following criteria:

HTSSOP (DDW package)

  • 2-layer PCB (size 114.3 x 76.2 x 1.6 mm), standard FR4, 1-oz (35 mm copper thickness) or 2-oz copper thickness. Thermal vias are only present under the thermal pad (13 x 5 thermal via array, 1.1 mm pitch, 0.2 mm diameter, 0.025 mm Cu plating).
    • Top layer: HTSSOP package footprint and copper plane heatsink. Top layer copper area is varied in simulation.
    • Bottom layer: ground plane thermally connected through vias under the thermal pad for the driver. Bottom layer copper area varies with top copper area.
  • 4-layer PCB (size 114.3 x 76.2 x 1.6 mm), standard FR4. Outer planes are 1-oz (35 mm copper thickness) or 2-oz copper thickness. Inner planes are kept at 1-oz. Thermal vias are only present under the thermal pad (13 x 5 thermal via array, 1.1 mm pitch, 0.2 mm diameter, 0.025 mm Cu plating).
    • Top layer: HTSSOP package footprint and copper plane heatsink. Top layer copper area is varied in simulation.
    • Mid layer 1: GND plane thermally connected to thermal pad through vias. The area of the ground plane varies with top copper area.
    • Mid layer 2: power plane, no thermal connection. The area of the power plane varies with top copper area.
    • Bottom layer: signal layer thermally connected through via stitching from the TOP and internal GND plane. Bottom layer thermal pad is the same size as the top layer copper area.

Figure 9-1 shows an example of the simulated board for the DDW package. Table 9-1 shows the dimensions of the board that were varied for each simulation.
