1.8 RθJA Effective

Theta-ja (RθJA) is a system-level parameter that depends strongly on system parameters as described in the previous sections; therefore, it is sometimes useful to define an RθJA(effective), which is simply the RθJA of the device operating in the system of interest. If RθJA(effective) can be estimated from thermal modeling or measurements in the system, it is possible to use Equation 1 to calculate the junction temperature assuming the power of the surrounding components on the system does not change. Equation 1 then becomes:

Equation 2. GUID-8A35AB28-4AED-4AE0-8E2E-EBF3FE254DE1-low.gif

The system conditions leading to an RθJA(effective) value should always be defined when reporting RθJA(effective).
