6.3.2 Safe Operating Area

The heat generated by the device power dissipation limits the maximum current that can be safely handled by the package. The current consumed to power the device is low, therefore the primary source of heating is due to the current flow through the internal shunt resistor. The maximum safe-operating current level shown in Figure 7-15 is set to ensure that the heat generated in the package is limited so that the internal junction temperature of the silicon does not exceed 150°C. This data was collected on the INA780x evaluation module (SENS119A).

Even though the shunt can withstand currents greater than 75 A, the current measurement capability is limited by ADC full scale range of 78.64 A. The ADC full scale range is also a function of temperature (see Figure 7-15).

In applications with overcurrent transients, the peak amplitude and duration of the overcurrent event is important to determine the device heating. Figure 6-5 shows the peak pulse current versus pulse duration that the device can withstand before the maximum junction temperature of 150°C is exceeded. The data shown in this curve was collected at TA =-40°C, 25°C, and 125°C using the INA780x evaluation module (SENS119A).
