TPS3700: recommended operation ambient temperature range

Part Number: TPS3700

Hello expert,

May I know recommended operation ambient temperature range for TPS3700? Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Ann Lien

  • Hi Ann Lien,

    The recommended operating temperature range is -40C to 125C for the TPS3700.

  • 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.
