PRODUCTION DATA
The power dissipated in the TPS6020x devices depends mainly on input voltage and output current and is approximated by:
for
By observing equation 5, it can be seen that the power dissipation is worst for highest input voltage VI and highest output current IO. For an input voltage of 3.6 V and an output current of 100 mA the calculated power dissipation P(DISS) is 390 mW. This is also the point where the charge pump operates with its lowest efficiency.
With the recommended maximum junction temperature of 125°C and an assumed maximum ambient operating temperature of 85°C, the maximum allowed thermal resistance junction to ambient of the system can be calculated.
PDISS must be less than that allowed by the package rating. The thermal resistance junction to ambient of the used 10-pin MSOP is 294°C/W for an unsoldered package. The thermal resistance junction to ambient with the IC soldered to a printed circuit using a board layout as described in the application information section, the RΘJA is typically 200°C/W, which is higher than the maximum value calculated above. However, in a battery powered application, both VI and TA will typically be lower than the worst case ratings used in equation 6 , and power dissipation should not be a problem in most applications.
