Note:
  • Thermal resistance (θJA) highly depends on environmental conditions such as airflow, pressure, and PCB conductivity. The given values are based on a four-layer standard PCB with two power planes (2S2P) and without any airflow (refer to EIA/JESD 51-7).
  • Power dissipation is calculated as follows: PDIS = VDD × {IDD - Σ IOH} + Σ {(VDD - VOH) × IOH} + Σ (VOL × IOL).
  • Internal Power Dissipation is calculated as PINTERNAL = IDD × VDD, where IDD is the current to run the chip alone without driving any load on the output pins.
  • Derated Power is calculated as PDER = PDMAX (TJ-TA)/θJA, where TA = Ambient Temperature and TJ = Junction Temperature.
