UC2901-EP: Thermal resistance from junction to the board/mount

Part Number: UC2901-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UC1901,

Needing thermal resistance from junction to the board/mount, Rthjb, for component.

  • Hi Yoon,

    Unlike a PWM controller, the UC1901 doesn't have a driver OUT stage, so I expect it will dissipate very little power. 

    Because the UC1901 is a legacy IC nearly 30 years old, I will not be able to produce the missing thermal impedance value you are asking about. If you select an exact package, we may be able to find a separate power management device in the same package, consider using whatever thermal impedances are given for that device and apply them to UC1901 - this is a crude approach but I expect the result would yield higher calculated junction temperature than what the UC1901 might experience in a working circuit?

  • Hi Adhvaidh,

    Do you have any thermal impedance information on V62/07609-01XE, a UC2901-EP package?

    Thanks,

    Yoon

  • Hi Yoon,

    This OPN "V62/07609-01XE" belongs to the same family of devices (UCx901), and unfortunately, my answer still remains the same from my previous comment.

    Thanks.

    Best,
