Thermal Model
The junction temperature of the device in a specific application
is given by:
TJ = TA + PD (θJC + θCA)
(1)
or
TJ = TA + PD (
θ
JA)
(2)
where:
TJ = Junction Temperature of Silicon (°C)
TA = Ambient Temperature (
°C)
PD = Power Dissipation (W)
θ
JC = Junction to Case Thermal Resistance (°C/W)
θ
CA = Case to Ambient Thermal Resistance (
°C/W)
θ
JA = Junction to Ambient Thermal Resistance (
°C/W)
Package Enhancements
The standard QFP package has been enhanced to a PowerQuad2
package. This supports an improved thermal performance com-
pared to standard QFP. In this case the die is attached to the
heatslug so the power that is dissipated can be conducted to the
external surface of the package. This provides a highly efficient
path for the transfer of heat to the package surface. The package
configuration also provides an efficient thermal path from the
ADV7152 to the Printed Circuit Board via the leads.
Heatsinks
The maximum silicon junction temperature should be limited to
100
°C. Temperatures greater than this will reduce long term
device reliability. To ensure that the silicon junction tempera-
ture stays within prescribed limits, the addition of an external
heatsink may be necessary. Heatsinks, will reduce
θ
JA as shown
in the “Thermal Characteristics vs. Airflow” table.
The ADV7152 is a very highly integrated monolithic silicon
device. This high level of integration, in such a small package,
inevitably leads to consideration of thermal and environmental
conditions in which the ADV7152 must operate. Reliability of
the device is significantly enhanced by keeping it as cool as pos-
sible. In order to avoid destructive damage to the device, the
absolute maximum junction temperature of 150
°C must never
be exceeded. Certain applications, depending on pixel data
rates, may require forced air cooling or external heatsinks. The
following data is intended as a guide in evaluating the operating
conditions of a particular application so that optimum device
and system performance is achieved.
It should be noted that information on package characteristics pub-
lished herein may not be the most up to date at the time of reading
this. Advances in package compounds and manufacture will inevita-
bly lead to improvements in the thermal data. Please contact your
local sales office for the most up-to-date information.
