DRV8873: Thermal calculation

Part Number: DRV8873

Tool/software:

Hi team,

Customer application will have 6A rms current, for thermal calculation, PD=IRMS*IRMS*(Rdson high-side + Rdson low-side) = 6*6*150mohm=5.4W

TJ=TA+(PD+RJA)= 25C+ (5.4W*27.8C/W) = 175.12C

I was wondering if this calculation is correct. If so, the temperature is too high. Could you pls help on the thermal calculation? thanks!
