WEBENCH® Tools/LM5008: Difference in Theta_JA

Part Number: LM5008

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Hi, 

Greetings.

Our customer tried to design in Webench using the PN LM5008MM/NOPB. When they are reviewing the design detail they noticed that the Theta_JA for the IC has a different value than the value on the datasheet. 

For the DGK (VSSOP) package, it is stated in the datasheet that it was 139.7°C/W however on Webench it was 40°C/W. I've attached an image below highlighting the difference. 



They want to know if which one is correct. I think they should follow the datasheet information.

Can you please verify which one is the correct value?

Any help for this matter is much appreciated. 

Thank you and have a great day. 


Regards,

Cedrick
