8.2.2.3 Power Dissipation and Temperature

The number of coils driven is dependent on the coil current and on-chip power dissipation. The number of coils driven can be determined by Figure 5-4 or Figure 5-5.

For a more accurate determination of number of coils possible, use the below equation to calculate ULN2003A device on-chip power dissipation PD:

Equation 2. GUID-7FB94A0B-1FFF-4F7E-8157-8654C0BEEA42-low.gif

where

  • N is the number of channels active together
  • VOLi is the OUTi pin voltage for the load current ILi. This is the same as VCE(SAT)

To ensure reliability of ULN2003A device and the system, the on-chip power dissipation must be lower that or equal to the maximum allowable power dissipation (PD(MAX)) dictated by below equation Equation 3.

Equation 3. GUID-858A9513-D345-47AD-9864-5959B41DA3EF-low.gif

where

  • TJ(max) is the target maximum junction temperature
  • TA is the operating ambient temperature
  • RθJA is the package junction to ambient thermal resistance

Limit the die junction temperature of the ULN2003A device to less than 125°C. The IC junction temperature is directly proportional to the on-chip power dissipation.
