7.4.1.3 Estimating Junction Temperature

Using the thermal metrics ΨJT and ΨJB, as listed in the Thermal Information table, the junction temperature can be estimated with corresponding formulas (given in Equation 3). For backwards compatibility, an older θJC,Top parameter is listed as well.

Equation 3. GUID-DA650505-F492-4806-9E0F-5D59BED771A0-low.gif

where:

  • PD is the power dissipation shown by Equation 2
  • TT is the temperature at the center-top of the device package
  • TB is the PCB temperature measured 1 mm away from the device package on the PCB surface (see Figure 7-14)

Note:

Both TT and TB can be measured on actual application boards using a thermo-gun (an infrared thermometer).

For more information about measuring TT and TB, see the Using New Thermal Metrics application note.

From Figure 7-15, the new thermal metrics (ΨJT and ΨJB) are shown to have very little dependency on board size. That is, using ΨJT or ΨJB with Equation 3 is a good way to estimate TJ by simply measuring TT or TB, regardless of the application board size.
