SNVS598B August 2010 – March 2018 LM3535
PRODUCTION DATA.
The power dissipation (PDISS) and junction temperature (TJ) can be approximated with the equations below. PIN is the power generated by the 3/2× – 1× charge pump, PLED is the power consumed by the LEDs, TA is the ambient temperature, and RθJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the DSBGA 20-bump package. VIN is the input voltage to the LM3535, VLED is the nominal LED forward voltage, N is the number of LEDs and ILED is the programmed LED current.
The junction temperature rating takes precedence over the ambient temperature rating. The LM3535 may be operated outside the ambient temperature rating, so long as the junction temperature of the device does not exceed the maximum operating rating of 110°C. The maximum ambient temperature rating must be derated in applications where high power dissipation and/or poor thermal resistance causes the junction temperature to exceed 110°C.
