Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLC3702
Do you have the TJ value for the TLC3702? I did not see it in the data sheet.

Hi, Jay,
Sorry for the delay... Also, more bad news --> the guys who support this device hang out in another e2e. I will move your post there so they can work with you on this issue.

Hello Jay,
You didn't specify the package type so I am assuming you need the numbers for the 8-pin D package (SO-8). If you need them for another package, let me know.
Since we are not seeing any thermal impedance information in the TLC3702 data sheet I looked in the thermal database for general SO-8 package numbers. Here's what's listed:
θJC 38.3°C/W
θJA 176°C/W (Low k)
θJA 97.5°C/W (High k)
The numbers for the TLC3702 may be a little different due to the reference die size difference, but the deviation shouldn't be of concern. Unless a micropower CMOS amplifier/comparator is pushing a lot of output current the self heating is often only a few degrees.
