TPSM13604H: Surface Heat Dissipation

Part Number: TPSM13604H

Hi Team, Seeking your inputs. How can we determine the surface area needed for good heat dissipation?

Thank you.

  • Hi Mark,

    You can refer to Section 10.2.1 for more information on thermal design. In that section there is a use case example that helps you calculate what the Rthteta_Ja_max value is and the resulting board area needed to be within that board thermal resistance. 

    Additionally in your PCB layer stackup, I'd suggest you use a 2oz|1oz|1oz|2oz copper thickness layer if you are designing a 4 layer board.

    Regards,
