The maximum recommended average power safe
operating area (SOA) at each V
IN is determined by the lower value of the 1.5W
limit (dotted line) and the corresponding thermal derating curve (solid line) at that
input voltage. Ambient temperatures higher than 125
oC is not recommended. The
thermal derating power is acquired with an evaluation board similar to the EVM shown in
the Layout Example section. T
shut represents the primary-side
over-temperature shutdown rising threshold. As shown in the Electrical Characteristics
table, the typical T
shut value is 160
oC, and minimal
T
shut value is 150
oC. The SOA derating curve with both
T
shut = 160
oC and 150
oC are provided below. The SOA
curves under four common VDD-VEE settings, 15V, 18V, 22V, and 25V are characterized. In
each SOA curve, the input voltage is swept from 9V to 18V. To represent a worst-case
condition with T
shut = 150
oC, the test is done in a shieded box to
block circulating air in the thermal chamber.
