SN65LVDT33: sn65lvdt33pw maximum temperatures

Can you also provide the junction-to-case thermal resistance?

Hi Harrison,

I believe the max operating the absolute max junction temperatures are the same for this device.

Using the dissipation rating table on page 4 of the datasheet:

The power rating for the PW device is 402mW. The Operating factor is 6.2mW/C

We can take 402mW and divide this by the 6.2mW/C to find the increase in temperature if we assume max power (402mW)

402/6.2 = ~65C

This power rating was stated for 85C so we add 85C to 65C to get our final junction temperature

85C+65C = ~150C.

This means the max junction and operating should be 150C for this device.

I've tried looking this up in our internal thermal system but it seems to be bugged for me at the moment. I'm going to leave this ticket/thread open and check back tomorrow to see if it works for me. If not, I will submit a new request to get this information (usually this takes up to 2 weeks though so I'm hoping I can search the database rather than submit a request).

Harrison,

I've confirmed with my colleagues on the thermal database. Looks like it's not in it so we will need to submit a request. I've already put in a ticket for it. 

I'll keep this thread open and report back when I get the thermal data.
