7 Miscellaneous Definitions

    Absolute Maximum Junction Temperature The temperature beyond which damage occurs to the device. The device may not function or meet expected performance at this temperature.
    Absolute Maximum Operating Temperature The maximum junction temperature at which the device functions electrically. The lifetime of the device is reduced if the device operates continually at this temperature. Another wording sometimes used is Maximum Operating Temperature.
    Ambient Air Temperature Multiple sources list different locations for determining the ambient air temperature. NEBS specifies the air temperature coming into the system box as ambient. AEC specifies the air temperature under the device as the ambient. JEDEC specifies the air stream temperature in advance of the PCB. Sometimes the ambient air temperature is taken above the device as an understanding of ambient. Each of these measurement locations yields a different temperature for the ambient air temperature. It is important to understand, in any case, that the critical factor affecting device reliability and functionality is the junction temperature, not the ambient temperature. Because the junction temperature and ambient temperature are interrelated, clarification of the ambient temperature assumption is crucial before any system level analysis is undertaken.
    Junction Temperature The hottest temperature of the silicon chip inside the package.
    Maximum Case Temperature Sometimes, rather than specifying Maximum Operating Temperature, a maximum case temperature is given. Running the device at the maximum case temperature (without a heat sink) results in the die running at the Recommended Operating Junction Temperature. Sometimes, this is written as TC. TC is normally measured at the center of the package top-side surface.
    Recommended Operating Temperature The junction temperature at which the device operates continuously at the designated performance over the designed lifetime. The reliability of the device may be degraded if the device operates above this temperature. Some devices will not function electrically above this temperature. Another wording sometimes used is Recommended Continuous Operating Junction Temperature.
