TPS3808: Thermal Information

Part Number: TPS3808

Hi Team, I hope you can help us fill in this information for our customer.

Theta Jc (Bottom), Theta Ja, Reliability Tj Max, 

Thank you very much

Regards,

Mark

  • Mark,

    This information is provided in the datasheet in table 7.4 http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps3808.pdf

    Theta Jc (bottom): is not applicable for SOT23 package since there is no thermal pad, and 7.3 C/W for WSON package

    Theta Ja = 180.9 C/W for SOT23 package and 178.1 C/W for WSON

    Tj abs max = 150 C.

    Note Tj = Ta due to the low power dissipation for this device

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks!

  • Hi Michael,

    I would like to know if the reliability Tjmax is the same as the absolute

    Thanks

  • Mark,

    No. The reliability Tjmax is the recommended operating max temperature at which we guarantee reliability. The recommended operating max temp is 125C.

    As noted by note #1 under table 7.1, Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions, Thank you!
