NCP334, NCP335
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Power Dissipation
Main contributor in term of junction temperature is the
power dissipation of the power MOSFET. Assuming this,
the power dissipation and the junction temperature in
normal mode can be calculated with the following
equations:
PD = RDS(on) x (IOUT)2
PD
= Power dissipation (W)
RDS(on)
= Power MOSFET on resistance (W)
IOUT
= Output current (A)
TJ = PD x RqJA + TA
TJ
RqJA
TA
= Junction temperature (°C
= Package thermal resistance (°C/W)
= Ambient temperature (°C)
PCB Recommendations
The NCP334 – NCP335 integrate an up to 2 A rated
PMOS FET, and the PCB design rules must be respected to
properly evacuate the heat out of the silicon. By increasing
PCB area, especially around IN and OUT pins, the RqJA of
the package can be decreased, allowing higher power
dissipation.
