General notes for specifications at maximum junction temperature
An estimation of the chip junction temperature, TJ, can be obtained from Equation 1: TJ = TA + (RJA * PD)
Eqn. 1
where:
TA = ambient temperature for the package (°C)
RJA = junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (°C/W)
PD = power dissipation in the package (W)
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is an industry standard value that provides a quick and easy estimation of thermal
performance. Unfortunately, there are two values in common usage: the value determined on a single layer board and the value
obtained on a board with two planes. For packages such as the PBGA, these values can be different by a factor of two. Which
value is closer to the application depends on the power dissipated by other components on the board. The value obtained on a
single layer board is appropriate for the tightly packed printed circuit board. The value obtained on the board with the internal
planes is usually appropriate if the board has low power dissipation and the components are well separated.
When a heat sink is used, the thermal resistance is expressed in
Equation 2 as the sum of a junction-to-case thermal resistance
and a case-to-ambient thermal resistance:
RJA = RJC + RCA
