SLUSFL6A June 2024 – November 2024 TPSM82866C
PRODMIX
The TPSM8286xx power module temperature must be kept less than the maximum rating of 125°C. The following are three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance:
To estimate the approximate module temperature of the TPSM8286xx, apply the typical efficiency stated in this data sheet to the desired application condition to compute the power dissipation of the module. Then, calculate the module temperature rise by multiplying the power dissipation by the thermal resistance. Using this method to compute the maximum device temperature, the Safe Operating Area (SOA) graphs demonstrate the required derating in maximum output current at high ambient temperatures. For more details on how to use the thermal parameters in real applications, see the Thermal Characteristics of Linear and Logic Packages Using JEDEC PCB Designs application report and Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application note.
