PRODUCTION DATA
The power loss in MCT8376Z-Q1 include standby power losses, LDO power losses, FET conduction and switching losses, and diode losses. The FET conduction loss dominates the total power dissipation in MCT8376Z-Q1. At start-up and fault conditions, the output current is much higher than normal current; remember to take these peak currents and the duration of the currents into consideration. The total device dissipation is the power dissipated in each of the three half bridges added together. The maximum amount of power that the device can dissipate depends on ambient temperature and heatsinking. Note that RDS,ON increases with temperature, so as the device heats, the power dissipation increases. Take this into consideration when designing the PCB and heatsinking.
