PRODUCTION DATA.
For best performance, follow the guidelines below:
Given an output voltage of 3.3 V, an input voltage range of 4 V to 6 V, an output current range of 0 mA to 500 mA, and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C, what is the maximum junction temperature?
The power dissipated by the device is equal to Equation 11.
where
So, P = 500 mA (6 V – 3.3 V) + 10 mA (6 V) = 1.41 W.
Using a KTT package, the thermal resistance is in the range of 23°C/W to 33°C/W, depending on the copper area. So the junction temperature rise above ambient is approximately equal to Equation 12.
The maximum junction temperature is then be equal to the maximum junction-temperature rise above ambient plus the maximum ambient temperature or Equation 13.
