Thermal Characteristics
The shaded rows in the following table indicate information specific to a four-layer board.
3.2.1
General Notes for Specifications at Maximum Junction Temperature
An estimation of the device junction temperature, T
J
, can be obtained from the equation:
TJ = TA + (RθJA × PD)
where:
TA = ambient temperature for the package (
oC)
RθJA = junction to ambient thermal resistance (
oC/W)
PD = power dissipation in the package (W)
The thermal resistance values used are based on the JEDEC JESD51 series of standards to provide
consistent values for estimations and comparisons. The difference between the values determined for the
single-layer (1s) board compared to a four-layer board that has two signal layers, a power and a ground
plane (2s2p), demonstrate that the effective thermal resistance is not a constant. The thermal resistance
depends on the:
Construction of the application board (number of planes)
Effective size of the board which cools the component

Junction to ambient, natural convection (one-layer board) 1, 2
1 Junction temperature is a function of on-chip power dissipation, package thermal resistance, mounting site (board)
temperature, ambient temperature, air flow, power dissipation of other components on the board, and board thermal
resistance.
