Thermal resistance at LM5022

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5022, LM3017, TPS40210, LM5085

Hi

Could you tell me thermal resistance at LM5022?

I checked data sheet,

ΘJA=200℃/W is correct? I think too high,if this data is correct LM5022 can not loss over 1W?

LM3017 is 36℃/W

TPS40210 is 57.7℃/W

Best regards,

masa

 

 

  • Hello Masa,

    That does seem high. 

    The LM5022 MSOP10 (VSSOP10) package does not have an exposed die pad so the thermal resistance is indeed much higher than the TPS40210.     A good comparison is the LM5085 in the VSSOP8 package (no exposed pad).  That device is specified as 126 deg/W.   The thermal resistance of the LM5022 should be similar.  150 deg/W shoudl be a fairly safe assumption.

     I could request a new thermal model but that will take some time (possibly weeks).

    Best regards,

  • Masa,

    I reviewed several test reports for devices in the VSSOP10 package (no exposed pad).   Devices with die size like the LM5022 were characterized with theta-j-a from 160 to 170 deg/W.  I was too aggressive with my first reply.  You should use 165deg/W as a safe assumption.

  • Hi Devid

    Thank you for your reply.

    So, I use 165deg/W as a safe assumption.

    Best regards,
