8.1.3 Maximum Ambient Temperature

As with any power conversion device, the LM656x0-Q1 dissipates internal power while operating. The effect of this power dissipation is to raise the internal temperature of the converter above ambient temperature. The internal die temperature (TJ) is a function of the following:

  • Ambient temperature
  • Power loss
  • Effective thermal resistance, RθJA of the device
  • PCB layout
The maximum internal die temperature for the LM656x0-Q1 must be limited to 150°C. This limit establishes a limit on the maximum device power dissipation and, therefore, the load current. Equation 24 shows the relationships between the important parameters. Larger ambient temperatures (TA) and larger values of RθJA reduce the maximum available output current. The converter efficiency can be estimated by using the curves provided in the Application Curves section. If the desired operating conditions cannot be found in one of the curves, then interpolation can be used to estimate the efficiency. Alternatively, the EVM can be adjusted to match the desired application requirements and the efficiency can be measured directly. The correct value of RθJA is more difficult to estimate. As stated in the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application note, the JESD 51-7 value of RθJA given in the Thermal Information section is not valid for design purposes and must not be used to estimate the thermal performance of the device in a real application. The JESD 51-7 values reported in the Thermal Information table were measured under a specific set of conditions that are rarely obtained in an actual application.

Equation 24. IOUT(MAX)=TJ-TARθJA×η1-η×1VOUT

where

  • η = efficiency
  • TA = ambient temperature
  • TJ = junction temperature
  • RθJA = the effective thermal resistance of the IC junction to the air, mainly through the PCB

The effective RθJA is a critical parameter and depends on many factors. The following are the most critical parameters:

  • Power dissipation
  • Air temperature
  • Airflow
  • PCB area
  • Copper heat-sink area
  • Number of thermal vias under or near the package
  • Adjacent component placement

Typical curves of maximum output current versus ambient temperature are shown in Derating Curves for a good thermal layout.

Use Thermal Design Resources as a guide for thermal PCB design and estimating RθJA for a given application environment.
