Estimating Junction Temperature

Using the thermal metrics ΨJT and ΨJB, as shown in the Thermal Information table, the junction temperature can be estimated with corresponding formulas (given in Equation 6). For backwards compatibility, an older RθJC, Top parameter is listed as well.

Equation 6. GUID-DA650505-F492-4806-9E0F-5D59BED771A0-low.gif

where:

  • PD is the power dissipation shown by Equation 5
  • TT is the temperature at the center-top of the device package
  • TB is the PCB temperature measured 1mm away from the device package on the PCB surface (as Figure 8-9 shows)
Note:

Both TT and TB can be measured on actual application boards using a thermo-gun (an infrared thermometer).

For more information about measuring TT and TB, see the Using New Thermal Metrics application note, available for download at www.ti.com.

From Figure 8-8, the new thermal metrics (ΨJT and ΨJB) obviously have very little dependency on board size. That is, using ΨJT or ΨJB with Equation 6 is a good way to estimate TJ by simply measuring TT or TB, regardless of the application board size.

For a more detailed discussion of why TI does not recommend using RθJC(top) to determine thermal characteristics, see the Using New Thermal Metrics application note, available for download at www.ti.com. For further information, see the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application note, also available on the TI website.
