9. Thermal characteristics
The average chip junction temperature, T
j
(C), can be calculated using the following
equation:
(1)
• T
amb
= ambient temperature (C),
• R
th(j-a)
= the package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (C/W)
• P
D
= sum of internal and I/O power dissipation
The internal power dissipation is the product of I
DD
and V
DD
. The I/O power dissipation of
the I/O pins is often small and many times can be negligible. However it can be significant
in some applications.
