(1) In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature [TA(max)] is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature [TJ(MAX)], the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application [PD(MAX)], and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA(MAX) = TJ(MAX) – (θJA × PD(MAX)).
