(2) Power rating at a specific ambient temperature TA should be determined with a junction temperature of 150°C. This is the point where distortion starts to substantially increase. Thermal management of the PCB should strive to keep the junction temperature at or below 150°C for best performance and long-term reliability. See power dissipation estimate in application section of this data sheet for more information.
(3) Test board conditions:
- 2.5 inches × 2.5 inches, 4 layers, thickness: 0.062 inch
- 2 oz. copper traces located on the top of the PCB
- 2 oz. copper ground planes on the 2 internal layers and bottom layer
- 4 0.010 inch thermal vias located under the device package
