PRODUCTION DATA.
Power consumption of the LMK0482x family of devices can be high enough to require attention to thermal management. For reliability and performance reasons, the die temperature should be limited to a maximum of 125°C. That is, as an estimate, TA (ambient temperature) plus device power consumption multiplied by RθJA should not exceed 125°C.
The package of the device has an exposed pad that provides the primary heat removal path, as well as excellent electrical grounding to a printed circuit board. To maximize the removal of heat from the package, a thermal land pattern, including multiple vias to a ground plane, must be incorporated on the PCB within the footprint of the package. The exposed pad must be soldered down to ensure adequate heat conduction out of the package.
