Estimating Junction Temperature

The junction temperature (TJ) of the UCC20520 can be estimated with:

Equation 18. GUID-B5BF4848-AAD8-44C7-A68C-6E3C8E25D4AA-low.gif

where

  • TC is the UCC20520 case-top temperature measured with a thermocouple or some other instrument, RθJC is the Junction-to-case-top thermal resistance from the Section 6.4 table. Importantly, RθJA, the junction to ambient thermal impedance provided in the Thermal Information table, is developed based on JEDEC standard PCB board and it is subject to change when the PCB board layout is different.
