Selecting the product temperature range12.2
When ordering the microcontroller, the temperature range is specified in the order code.
The following example shows how to calculate the temperature range needed for a given
application.
Assuming the following application conditions:
Maximum ambient temperature T
Amax
= 75 °C (measured according to JESD51-2)
I
DDmax
= 8 mA, V
DD
= 5 V
Maximum 20 I/Os used at the same time in output at low level with
I
OL
= 8 mA, V
OL
= 0.4 V
P
INTmax =
8 mA x 5 V = 400 mW
Amax
P
Dmax =
400
mW +
64 mW
Thus: P
Dmax
= 464 mW
T
Jmax
for LQFP32 can be calculated as follows, using the thermal resistance Θ
JA
:
T
Jmax
= 75 °C + (60 °C/W x 464 mW) = 75 °C + 27.8 °C = 102.8 °C
This is within the range of the suffix 6 version parts (-40 < T
J
< 105 °C).
In this case, parts must be ordered at least with the temperature range suffix 6.
