LM76005-Q1: LM76005 junction temperature calculation method

Part Number: LM76005-Q1

hi:

    Is there a junction temperature calculation table for LM76005-Q1? Tj exceeds the standard seriously according to the following calculation method

According to the calculation method in Page 36 of the Specification, based on R θ JA,

If the inductance DCR=0.05 ohms and the ambient temperature is 85 ° C,

Then input VIN=36V, output 14V/3.5A, output power Pout=14 * 3.5=49w,

If the efficiency is 92%, the input power is Pin=49W/0.92=53.26W,

So the overall power loss is Ploss=53.26-49=4.26W

The loss of inductance is: PLloss=3.5A * 3.5A * 0.05 Ω=0.8575W

So the power loss on the IC is PIClose=Ploss - 1.1 * PLlose=4.26-0.9432=3.316W

If the ambient temperature is 85 ° C and the IC thermal resistance R θ JA is 29.6 ° C/W, the junction temperature on the IC Tj=85+3.316 * 29.6=183.15 ° C

TJMAX has seriously exceeded LM76005-Q1=150 ° C;

  • Hi Ansel,

    The inductor also has core losses associated with AC peak-peak ripple current, it will dissipate more power than you calculate. Some inductor manufacturers like coilcraft and Wurth will simulate AC+DC losses.

    The R theta JA varies with board size, see figure 10-2 in the datasheet. You can use a lower thermal resistance depending on your board size.

    Hope this helps,
