10.3 Heat Sinking DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 Package Parts

Both the DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) and SOT-223 (DCY) packages use a copper plane on the PCB and the PCB itself as a heat sink. To optimize the heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the plane.

Figure 29 shows for the DDPAK/TO-263 the measured values of θ(J–A) for different copper area sizes using a typical PCB with 1-oz copper and no solder mask over the copper area used for heat sinking.

As shown in Figure 29, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. It should also be observed that the minimum value of θ(J–A) for the DDPAK/TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is 32°C/W.

As a design aid, Figure 30 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation compared to ambient temperature for the DDPAK/TO-263 device (assuming θ(J–A) is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C).

Figure 31 and Figure 32 show the information for the SOT-223 package. Figure 31 assumes a θ(J–A) of 74°C/W for 1-oz. copper and 51°C/W for 2-oz. copper and a maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
