7.2 Thermal characteristics
The maximum chip junction temperature (T
J
max) must never exceed the values given in
Table 15: General operating conditions on page 39.
The maximum chip-junction temperature, T
J
max, in degrees Celsius, may be calculated
using the following equation:
T
J
max = T
A
max + (P
D
max x Θ
JA
)
Where:
● T
A
max is the maximum ambient temperature in °C,
● Θ
JA
is the package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, in ° C/W,
● P
D
max is the sum of P
INT
max and P
I/O
max (P
D
max = P
INT
max + P
I/O
max),
● P
INT
max is the product of I
DD
and
V
DD
, expressed in Watts. This is the maximum chip
internal power.
P
I/O
max represents the maximum power dissipation on output pins where:
P
I/O
max = Σ (V
OL
× I
OL
) + Σ((V
DD
– V
OH
) × I
OH
),
taking into account the actual V
OL
/ I
OL
and V
OH
/ I
OH
of the I/Os at low and high level in the
application.

7.2.2 Selecting the product temperature range
When ordering the microcontroller, the temperature range is specified in the ordering
information scheme shown in Section 8: Part numbering.
Each temperature range suffix corresponds to a specific guaranteed ambient temperature at
maximum dissipation and, to a specific maximum junction temperature.
As applications do not commonly use the STM32F05xx at maximum dissipation, it is useful
to calculate the exact power consumption and junction temperature to determine which
temperature range will be best suited to the application.
The following examples show how to calculate the temperature range needed for a given
application.
