11.3 Thermal Considerations

For operation at full rated load current, the analog ground plane must provide an adequate heat dissipating area. A 3-inch by 3-inch plane of 1 ounce copper is recommended, though not mandatory, depending on ambient temperature and airflow. Most applications have larger areas of internal ground plane available, and the PowerPAD™ must be connected to the largest area available. Additional areas on the top or bottom layers also help dissipate heat, and any area available must be used when 6 A or greater operation is desired. Connection from the exposed area of the PowerPAD™ to the analog ground plane layer must be made using 0.013 inch diameter vias to avoid solder wicking through the vias. Eight vias must be in the PowerPAD area with four additional vias located under the device package. The size of the vias under the package, but not in the exposed thermal pad area, can be increased to 0.018. Additional vias beyond the twelve recommended that enhance thermal performance must be included in areas not under the device package.
