LM2904V: max allowable power dissipation

Part Number: LM2904V

Hi Experts,

Is there any data for maxim allowable power dissipation? We also want to know its dependency data for temperature.

Regards,

Hisao Uchikoshi

  • Hisao-san,

    Maximum power dissipation depends on many factors. Data sheet section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings states that absolute maximum junction temperature is 150C. The power dissipation to get to 150 C depends on ambient and board temperature, air flows and other factors.

    Data sheet Section 7.4 Thermal Information provides thermal resistances that are a good starting point. Application  boards results will vary from the standard thermal test board results.

    I did not understand the second question/request, can you restate with more detail?

     

  • Hi Ron,

    Thank you for your answer.

    Assuming theta j-a is 171.7 degree/W and Ta is 60 degree, Pd can be estimated as below.

    60 + Pd * 171.7 < 150

    Pd < 524mW

    When Vs is 24V, output current or Io can be up to 45mA (not included Iq).

    Is this estimation correct? Is there any max allowable power for TSSOP package?

    Please let me know if my question is unclear.

  • Hisao-san,

    Your calculation is correct. 45mA is a lot of output current for this device. Does this happen in normal operating or in fault condition?

    The power heats the die and the heat of the die impacts the package. The PW package is rated for the temperature range of LM2904V.

    Here is the power used in the LM2904V (total sum for all)

    ICC * VCC

    Outputs sourcing current (VCC-VOUT) * IOUT

    Outputs sinking current (VOUT) * IOUT

  • Hi Ron,

    This is a replacement opportunity and comparing the spec. This is not the actual usage model. The existing opamp defines the abs power dissipation which is for package(see note). So do you have any data?

  • Hisao-san,

    There is no maximum power for the package. I did make a chart based on assumed 171.7C/W performance. The curves yields a die temperature of 150C which is not  recommended usage. There is also a power limit based on thid spec and 60 mA current. 

    Lastly there is a limit on ambient temperature. 85C or 125C based on part number
