PRODUCTION DATA.
The PowerPAD™ package provides low thermal impedance for heat removal from the device. The PowerPAD™ derives its name and low thermal impedance from the large bonding pad on the bottom of the device. The circuit board must have an area of solder-tinned-copper underneath the package. The dimensions of this area depend on the size of the PowerPAD™ package. Thermal vias connect this area to internal or external copper planes and must have a drill diameter sufficiently small so that the via hole is effectively plugged when the barrel of the via is plated with copper. This plug is required to prevent wicking the solder away from the interface between the package body and the solder-tinned area under the device during solder reflow. Drill diameters of 0.33 mm (13 mils) works well when 1-oz. copper is plated at the surface of the board while simultaneously plating the barrel of the via. If the thermal vias are not plugged when the copper plating is performed, then a solder mask material must be used to cap the vias with a diameter equal to the via diameter of 0.1 mm minimum. This capping prevents the solder from being wicked through the thermal vias and potentially creating a solder void under the package (see 関連資料).
The overtemperature thermal protection limits the maximum power to be dissipated at a given operating ambient temperature. In other words, at a given device power dissipation, the maximum ambient operating temperature is limited by the maximum allowable junction operating temperature. The device junction temperature is a function of power dissipation, and the thermal impedance from the junction to the ambient. If the internal die temperature must reach the thermal shutdown level, the TPS5429x shuts off both PWMs and remain in this state until the die temperature drops below 125°C, at which time the device restarts.
The first step in determining the device junction temperature is to calculate the power dissipation. The power dissipation is dominated by the two switching MOSFETs and the BP internal regulator. The power dissipated by each MOSFET is composed of conduction losses and switching losses. The total conduction loss in the high-side and low-side MOSFETs for each channel is given by Equation 42.
where
Notice the impact of operating duty cycle on the result.
The switching loss for each channel is approximated by Equation 43.
where
The total power dissipation is found by summing the power loss for both MOSFETs plus the loss in the internal regulator (see Equation 44).
The temperature rise of the device junction is dependent on the thermal impedance from junction to the mounting pad, plus the thermal impedance from the thermal pad to ambient. The thermal impedance from the thermal pad to ambient is dependent on the PCB layout (PowerPAD™ interface to the PCB, the exposed pad area) and airflow (if any; see 関連資料 for more information).
The operating junction temperature is shown in Equation 45.
where
The TPS5429x delivers full current at wide duty cycles at ambient temperatures up to 85°C if the thermal impedance from the thermal pad is sufficient to maintain the junction temperature below the thermal shutdown level. At higher ambient temperatures, the device power dissipation must be reduced to maintain the junction temperature at or below the thermal shutdown level. Figure 26 illustrates the power derating for elevated ambient temperature under various air flow conditions. Note that these curves assume the PowerPAD™ is soldered to the recommended thermal pad.
