7.1.1.4 Junction Temperature Estimation

For an ambient temperature of TA and total power dissipation (PTOT), the junction temperature (TJ) is calculated as -

TJ = TA + (PTOT x RθJA)

Considering a JEDEC standard 4-layer PCB, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 22.2 °C/W for the DDW package.

Assuming 25°C ambient temperature, the junction temperature is calculated as shown below -

Equation 4. TJ = 25°C + (3.84W x 22.2 °C/W) = 110.2 °C

For more accurate calculation, consider the dependency of on-resistance of FETs with device junction temperature shown in the Typical Operating Characteristics section.

For example,

  • At 110.2 °C junction temperature, the on-resistance likely increases by a factor of 1.4 compared to the on-resistance at 25 °C.
  • The initial estimate of conduction loss is 3.2W.
  • New estimate of conduction loss is 3.2W x 1.4 = 4.48W.
  • New estimate of the total power loss accordingly be 5.12W.
  • New estimate of junction temperature for the DDW package is 138.7 °C.
  • Further iterations are unlikely to increase the junction temperature estimate by significant amount.

When using the DDV package, if a heat sink with less than 4 °C/W thermal resistance is chosen, the junction to ambient thermal resistance can be lower than 5 °C/W. The initial estimate of the junction temperature with the DDV package in this application will therefore be -

Equation 5. TJ = 25°C + (3.84-W x 5 °C/W) = 44.2 °C

The DDV package is able to deliver up to 10A RMS current to both brushed-DC motors in dual H-bridge mode and up to 20A RMS current to a brushed-DC motor in single H-bridge mode.
