OPA344: Junction to case parameter confirm

Part Number: OPA344
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLV9101, , TLV376

Hi Team:

Please help to provide Junction to case parameter of OPA344NA  for RD request , thanks.

Regards / Mark

  • Hi Wenhsiang,

    for the SOT-23 package much of the heat is dissipated via the terminals to the solder points and to the PCB. So, usually the junction to ambient thermal resistance is given in the datasheet.

    Hello Mark,

    I was expecting to hear back on my thermal data request by now, but have not.  I will look into it again tomorrow and come back with an update.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Regards,

    Daniel

  • Hi Daniel:

    As customer request , please help to confirm , could this parameter table update to datasheet ?

    If not , could TI provide guarantee letter ? contact window ?

    Hi Mark,

    This type of a request requires work and approval from someone besides myself.

    I've asked about this and will get back to you as soon as I hear back, ideally tomorrow.

    Regards,

    Hello Mark,

    Thanks for your patience. Here's what I've gathered:

    It's important to note that thermal performance is not assured like specifications in the electrical characteristics table that are tested at final test. The same holds true for a letter. Thermal metrics in semiconductor data sheets are given under very particular conditions. For example, there are particular PCBs used as outlined by JEDEC (e.g. low-K 1s, high-K 2s2p) that are used to obtain these values. It is extremely unlikely that the JEDEC PCBs and the application PCBs are exactly the same. Therefore these values are best used as a relative measure of thermal performance. Here are a couple application notes that have additional information. Section 1 of the first reference may be of particular interest.

    www.ti.com/.../spra953c.pdf

    www.ti.com/.../szza017a.pdf

    That said, while it is possible to update the data sheet with the desired information, the fastest and most efficient way to meet this requirement is to look for a newer device that has the desired information already in the data sheet.

    So, there are a couple devices that I recommend for evaluation. First, the TLV376 is a production device that compares well with the OPA344, but it does have higher bandwidth (5.5MHz). If this is not an issue, I would check this device first. Secondly, the TLV9101 is also potentially a good replacement, however that device has a slightly higher max offset voltage (1.6mV) than the OPA344. I should also note that the TLV9101 is currently in preview, but when the data sheet is finalized it will have all of the desired thermal information. Finally, the TLV9101 is more cost competitive than the other devices.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Daniel
