ICS873033

This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the ICS873033.

Equations and example calculations are also provided.

1. Power Dissipation.

The total power dissipation for the ICS873033 is the sum of the core power plus the power dissipated in the load(s).

The following is the power dissipation for V

NOTE: Please refer to Section 3 for details on calculating power dissipated in the load.

Total Power

2. Junction Temperature.

Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad and directly affects the reliability of the

The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj =

θ

Tj = Junction Temperature

θ

Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)

T

In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance

θ

moderate air flow of 200 linear feet per minute and a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 103.3°C/W per Table 6A below.

Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 85°C with all outputs switching is:

85°C + 0.196W * 103.3°C/W = 105.2°C. This is well below the limit of 125°C.

This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow,

and the type of board (single layer or multi-layer).
