7.4.3 Power Dissipation and Junction Temperature

Specified regulator operation is designed to a junction temperature of 125°C; the maximum junction temperature allowable to avoid damaging the device is 150°C. This restriction limits the power dissipation the regulator can handle in any given application. To verify the junction temperature is within acceptable limits, calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max) and the actual dissipation, PD, which must be less than or equal to PD(max).

The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using Equation 12.

Equation 12. P D m a x = T J m a x - T A R θ J A

where

  • TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature
  • RθJA is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the package, see Section 5.4
  • TA is the ambient temperature

Use Equation 13 to calculate the regulator dissipation.

Equation 13. P D = V I - V O × I O

Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is negligible.
