DP83848K: Thermal Information in datasheet of DP83848J/DP83848K...

Part Number: DP83848K
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83848J, DP83848C, DP83848VYB, , DP83848I, DP83848YB

Hello?

I feel it is wrong at thermal information in datasheet, so I write this thread.

Normally, I think junction-to-board thermal resistance(R_θJB) is lower than  junction-to-ambient thermal resistance(R_θJA).

But thermal resistance of DP83848J/K is upside down.

This is table of compared with DP83848C/I & DP83848VYB/YB.

Product Name

DP83848J($0.80)

DP83848K($0.95)

DP83848C($2.15)

DP83848I($2.20)

DP83848VYB($14.20)

DP83848YB($16.60)

Package WQFN-40 LQFP-48 HLQFP-48
R_θJA (Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance) 31.7 °C/W 73.9 °C/W 40.1 °C/W
R_θJC(top) (Junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance) 8.8 °C/W 30.9 °C/W 25.5 °C/W
R_θJB (Junction-to-board thermal resistance) 40.5 °C/W 37.2 °C/W 21 °C/W
R_θJC(bot) (Junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance) 5.5 °C/W N/A 3.6 °C/W

I reviewed smaller & cheaper product is good in small system using RMII, but thermal information gives me embarrass.

Please review this point.

Thank you.
