THERMAL INFORMATION
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added
heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the power-
dissipation limits of a given component.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below.
1. Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
2. Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB by soldering all pins to traces as wide as
possible.
3. Introducing airflow in the system
The maximum recommended junction temperature (T
J
) of the TPS6301x devices is 125°C. The thermal
resistance of this 20-pin chipscale package (YFF) is R
θJA
= 84°C/W, if all pins are soldered. Specified regulator
operation is assured to a maximum ambient temperature T
A
of 85°C. Therefore, the maximum power dissipation
is about 476 mW, as calculated in Equation 7. More power can be dissipated if the maximum ambient
temperature of the application is lower.
