JAJSEP3C September 2017 – March 2018 LMZM33603
PRODUCTION DATA.
The amount of PCB copper effects the thermal performance of the device. Figure 42 shows the effects of copper area on the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the LMZM33603. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is plotted for a 2-layer PCB and a 4-layer PCB with PCB area from 16 cm2 to 49 cm2.
To determine the required copper area for an application:
