(2) For thermal estimates of this device based on PCB copper area, see the TI PCB Thermal Calculator .
(3) Thermal data for the DDA package is derived by thermal simulations based on JEDEC-standard methodology as specified in the
JESD51 series. The following assumptions are used in the simulations:
(a) DDA: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 3x2 thermal via array.
(b) DDA: The top and bottom copper layers are assumed to have a 5% thermal conductivity of copper representing a 5% copper
coverage.
(c) These data were generated with only a single device at the center of a JEDEC high-K (2s2p) board with 3in × 3in copper area.
(4) The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
(5) The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the top of the package. No specific JEDEC-
standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
(6) The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
(7) The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψ
JT
, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data to obtain θ

using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).

JB
, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data to obtain θ

using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
(9) The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
