Tool/software:
The CD74ACT138M96 Theta_JA increased from 73C/W to 106.6C/W . This is quite a change
in Theta_JA and we're trying to ascertain to what extent this affects our product. We have product shipping
that is a conduction cooled application, and it doesn't rely on on convection cooling at all.
Would TI have any other (more) thermal data on this part? Are there any Thermal_JC metrics?
There is a possibility that the derated Tj for the device will now be violated but we can't be sure with the
metrics provided by the datasheet.
