7.1.4 Estimating Junction Temperature

By using the thermal metrics ΨJT and ΨJB, as shown in the Thermal Information table, estimate the junction temperature (as given in Equation 6) with corresponding formulas. For backwards compatibility, an older θJC(top) parameter is listed as well.

Equation 6. TPS7N49

where:

  • PD is the power dissipation
  • TT is the temperature at the center-top of the package
  • TB is the PCB temperature measured 1mm away from the package on the PCB surface
Note: Both TT and TB are 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.

For a more detailed discussion of why TI does not recommend using θJC(top) to determine thermal characteristics, see the Using New Thermal Metrics application note. For further information, see the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application note. These application notes are also available on the TI website.
