PRODUCTION DATA.
The maximum IC junction temperature should be restricted to 150°C under normal operating conditions. To calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max) for a given ambient temperature, use Equation 5.
where
Following are two examples demonstrating how to use the above information: For VBIAS = 5 V, VIN = 5 V, the maximum allowable ambient temperature with a 3-A load through each channel can be determined by using the following calculations.
NOTE
When calculating power dissipation in the switch, it is important to use the correct RON value. RON is dependent on the junction temperature of the device.
For VBIAS = 5 V, VIN = 5 V, the maximum continuous current for an ambient temperature of 85°C with the same current flowing through each channel can be determined by using the following calculation:
