PRODUCTION DATA
This example shows how to calculate IC power dissipation for a configuration with separate VCC and VCCO supplies and unused outputs. Because some outputs are not used, the ICCO_PECL value specified in Electrical Characteristics cannot be used directly, and output bank current (ICCO_BANK) should be calculated to accurately estimate the IC power dissipation.
Using the current and power calculations from the previous section, we can compute PTOTAL and PDEVICE.
In this example, the IC device will dissipate about 574 mW or 79% of the total power (730 mW), while the remaining 21% will be dissipated in the emitter resistors (102 mW for 4 pairs) and termination voltage (54 mW into VCCO – 2 V).
Based on the thermal resistance junction-to-case (RθJA) of 28.5°C/W, the estimated die junction temperature would be about 16.4°C above ambient, or 101.4°C when TA = 85°C.
