Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
THERMAL DATA
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination. The ADM7160 can be damaged when the junc-
tion temperature limits are exceeded. Monitoring ambient
temperature does not guarantee that TJ is within the specified
temperature limits.
In applications with high power dissipation and poor PCB
thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature may
need to be derated. In applications with moderate power
dissipation and low PCB thermal resistance, the maximum
ambient temperature can exceed the maximum limit as long
as the junction temperature is within the specification limits.
The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is dependent on the
ambient temperature (TA), the power dissipation of the device
(PD), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the
package (θJA). TJ is calculated using the following formula:
TJ = TA + (PD × θJA)
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of the package
is based on modeling and calculation using a 4-layer board. θJA
is highly dependent on the application and board layout. In appli-
cations where high maximum power dissipation exists, close
attention to thermal board design is required. The value of θJA
may vary, depending on PCB material, layout, and environmental
conditions.
ADM7160
The specified values of θJA are based on a 4-layer, 4 inch × 3 inch
printed circuit board (PCB). See JEDEC JESD51-7 and JESD51-9
for detailed information about board construction. For more infor-
mation about the LFCSP package, see the AN-772 Application
Note, A Design and Manufacturing Guide for the Lead Frame Chip
Scale Package (LFCSP).
ΨJB is the junction-to-board thermal characterization parameter
with units of °C/W. ΨJB of the package is based on modeling and
calculation using a 4-layer board.
JEDEC JESD51-12, Guidelines for Reporting and Using Electronic
Package Thermal Information, states that thermal characterization
parameters are not the same as thermal resistances. ΨJB measures
the component power flowing through multiple thermal paths,
rather than through a single path as in thermal resistance (θJB).
Therefore, ΨJB thermal paths include convection from the top of
the package, as well as radiation from the package, factors that
make ΨJB more useful in real-world applications.
Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the
board temperature (TB) and the power dissipation (PD) using
the following formula:
TJ = TB + (PD × ΨJB)
See JEDEC JESD51-8 and JESD51-12 for more detailed infor-
mation about ΨJB.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
θJA and ΨJB are specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a
device soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages.
