Hi!
I wonder how can I calculate maximum power throw MOSFET and if needed the case junction, where to apply and how to calculate it.
Let's take CSD19502Q5B
It is written 3.4 mOhm and maximum continous current 100A (package limited)
Okay, I want to use 100A max, that means P=I*U=I^2*R= 34W
I see RthetaJC 0.8, I should place it 1inch^2 2oz PCB.
I beleive this area is connected to drain, because it is the biggest pad
But I am sure, that is not enough.
I need also connect some case. Should I connect this
On top of IC? Or to this copper area on PCB? Which connection RthetaJC is 0.8?
I would like to find some tutorial or calculators for this, if possible.
Thanks.
