Application Information (continued)
The next parameter which must be calculated is the
maximum allowable temperature rise, T
calculated by the using to formula:
T
Where: T
Using the calculated values for T
maximum allowable value for the junction to ambient
thermal resistance, θja, can now be found:
θja = T

enough heat to satisfy these requirements. If the
calculated value for θja falls below these limits, a
heatsink is required.
