(edge) of the package will be approximately the same as the local air temperature near the device.
Specifying the local ambient conditions explicitly as the board temperature provides a more precise
description of the local ambient conditions that determine the temperature of the device.
At a known board temperature, the junction temperature is estimated using the following equation:
where:
When the heat loss from the package case to the air can be ignored, acceptable predictions of junction
temperature can be made. The application board should be similar to the thermal test condition: the
component is soldered to a board with internal planes.

To determine the junction temperature of the device in the application after prototypes are available, the
thermal characterization parameter (Ψ
measurement of the temperature at the top center of the package case using the following equation:
where:
The thermal characterization parameter is measured per JESD51-2 specification using a 40 gauge type T
thermocouple epoxied to the top center of the package case. The thermocouple should be positioned so
that the thermocouple junction rests on the package. A small amount of epoxy is placed over the
thermocouple junction and over about 1 mm of wire extending from the junction. The thermocouple wire
is placed flat against the package case to avoid measurement errors caused by cooling effects of the
thermocouple wire.
23.2.4
In some application environments, a heat sink will be required to provide the necessary thermal
management of the device. When a heat sink is used, the thermal resistance is expressed as the sum of a
junction-to-case thermal resistance and a case to ambient thermal resistance:
