AM26LV32E-EP: Junction to case thermal resistance

Part Number: AM26LV32E-EP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74ALVC244-EP

What is the Theta_JC for the AM26LV32E-EP?

  • Michael,

    We will have to get the datasheet updated with current thermal metrics.

    However, in the mean time you can use the industrial versions with same package for the thermal metrics.

    For Theta Jc top, it is 38.4 for the D package.

  • Wade,

    I am trying to determine the thermal response of this part at the junction without top cooling; therefore, my interest is more with the Theta JC bottom so that I can calculate the resistance to (and ultimately through) the pins.

    Thank you,
    Mike
  • Michael,
    I don't think our modelling team is working on this request until they hear back from you on how you intend on using this data. This question was asked in the other post here: e2e.ti.com/.../727356
    How are you mounting devices to board? Is there an air gap?
    Please update on proposed usage, and we will see if the modelling team will agree with how you propose to use the data. They are concerned that the metric is not being used properly, as it is intended to be used only on devices with thermal pads (a direct thermal connection to the board).
    Regards,
    Wade
  • Michael, here are the new metrics.
    Theta JA-High K 77.7
    Theta JC, top 37.5
    Theta JB 35.3
    Psi JT 6.5
    Psi JB 35.0

    The results for the SN74ALVC244-EP were not properly entered. I corrected the request, and I expect them shortly and will update that post.
