RC4558: Thermal Resistance

Brian Wang0928

Part Number: RC4558

 

Could you offer the RθJC and Tc(Max)?

In the d/s, there are only TA、TJ、RθJA, they are not enough for thermal calculation.

Regards

Brian W

    Brian,

    Which package or two packages do they need data?

    If they are using RθJC parameter then they are using a contact heat sink or they are planning to use the RθJC parameter incorrectly.

    Hi Ron,

    Thanks. The package type is RC4558IPWR. There is no heaksink on the top of device attached in application. What temperature point RD can be easily obtained are T_case and T_ambient.

    Pls offer the Theta_jc in advance. We will also communicate the correct measurements of the junction temp with SMD package. However in the d/s, I don’t even find the thermal metrics that is independent with pcb size!

    Brian,

    Theta JC, top 67.1 C/W
    Theta JB 112.5 C/W
    Psi JT 8.4 C/W
    Psi JB 110.7 C/W

    If they know the top of case temperature (T) then they can estimate the die temperature (D) as D = T + [Psi JT] * [power dissipation].  

    The Theta JC value is nearly useless because the majority of the heat does not escape through the device top; actually very little does. That is why the top of case temperature is nearly as hot as the die.
