Hello expert,
May I know recommended operation ambient temperature range for TPS3700? Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Ann Lien

Hi Ann Lien,
One more thing to add, the TPS3700 consumes very little current and when you calculate the junction temperature of the device at worst conditions (IDD = 13uA, TA = 125C, VDD = 18V, Rtheta-ja = 204.6 C/W) and assuming a 6-pin SOT package, the junction temperature is almost the same as the ambient temperature. See below:
Theta JA = 125C + (VDD*IDD)*(Rtheta-ja)
Theta JA = 125C + (18V*13uA)*(204.6 C/W)
Theta JA = 125.05C
Therefore, the recommended ambient operating temperature can range from -40C to 125C.
I hope this explanation helps answer your question.
