JAJS385T May 2001 – December 2022 TPS715
PRODUCTION DATA
To ensure reliable operation, worst-case junction temperature must not exceed 125°C. This restriction limits the power dissipation the regulator can handle in any given application. To ensure the junction temperature is within acceptable limits, calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max), and the actual dissipation, PD, which must be less than or equal to PD(max).
The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using Equation 11:
where
The regulator dissipation is calculated using Equation 12:
