10.3 Thermal Considerations

The power handling capability of the device is limited by the recommended maximum operating junction temperature (125°C). The power dissipated by the device is made up of two components:

  1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage differential: IOUT (VIN – VOUT)
  2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage: IGND × VIN

The GND pin current can be found using the GND Pin Current graphs in Section 6.6. Power dissipation is equal to the sum of the two components listed above.

The TPS73801-SEP series regulators have internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during overload conditions. For continuous normal conditions, the recommended maximum operating junction temperature is 125°C. It is important to give careful consideration to all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Additional heat sources mounted nearby must also be considered.
