Junction Temperature Estimation

For an ambient temperature of TA and total power dissipation (PTOT), the junction temperature (TJ) is calculated as -

TJ = TA + (PTOT x RθJA)

Considering a JEDEC standard 4-layer PCB, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 22.2 °C/W.

Assuming 25°C ambient temperature, the junction temperature is calculated as shown below -

Equation 17. TJ = 25°C + (3.458-W x 22.2 °C/W) = 101.8 °C

For more accurate calculation, consider the dependency of on-resistance of FETs with device junction temperature shown in the Typical Operating Characteristics section.

For example,

  • At 101.8 °C junction temperature, the on-resistance will likely increase by a factor of 1.35 compared to the on-resistance at 25 °C.

  • The initial estimate of conduction loss was 2.65 W.

  • New estimate of conduction loss will therefore be 2.65 W x 1.35 = 3.58 W.

  • New estimate of the total power loss will accordingly be 4.388 W.

  • New estimate of junction temperature will be 122.4 °C.

  • Further iterations are unlikely to increase the junction temperature estimate by significant amount.
