SNVSCF0B October 2024 – May 2026 LM65680-Q1
ADVMIX
The junction temperature of the LM656x0-Q1 has a specified maximum of 150°C, which limits the power dissipation and thus the available load current. Equation 25 shows the relationships between the important parameters.

Clearly, higher values of TA and RθJA reduce the available output current. The effective RθJA is a critical parameter and depends on numerous factors, including:
Estimate the IC power loss using the LM656x0-Q1 quickstart calculator. Alternatively, adjust the EVM to match the desired application requirements and the measure the power loss and resultant temperature rise. The JESD 51-7 value of RθJA reported in the Section 6.4 table was measured under a specific set of conditions rarely applicable to an actual application. As such, the value is not useful to estimate the thermal performance of the IC in a real application.
