TCA9548A: Maximum operating junction temperature

Part Number: TCA9548A

Hi, I am a thermal engineer at L3Harris and we are looking at component "TCA9548ARGER". We would like to know the following information if it is available:

1) recommended operating junction temperature

2) any available thermal resistances

3) thermal test information, such as power applied, test board configuration

Thank you for all your help.

  • Jesus,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    As far as the operating junction temperature for the device, you can use the Absolute Maximum Ratings section's TJ value for this, listed as 130°C for VCC ≤ 3.6 V and 90°C for 3.6 V ≤ VCC ≤ 5.5 V. The recommended operating conditions list a recommended operating free-air temperature that would be expected to keep this device within this range.

    The thermal information is included in section 6.4 of the TCA9548A datasheet, reproduced here:

    You can find information about the thermal metrics in the Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics application report published by TI.

    Best,

    Danny
