The actual junction temperature can be calculated
with power dissipation in the AOZ1014 and thermal
impedance from junction to ambient is:
The maximum junction temperature of AOZ1014 is
145°C, which limits the maximum load current capability.
Please see the thermal de-rating curves for maximum
load current of the AOZ1014 under different ambient
temperatures.
The thermal performance of the AOZ1014 is strongly
affected by the PCB layout. Extra care should be taken
by users during the design process to ensure that the IC
will operate under the recommended environmental
conditions.
Several layout tips are listed below for the best electric
and thermal performance. Figure 3 below illustrates a
PCB layout example as a reference.
1. Do not use thermal relief connection to the V

4 to 6 thermal vias should be placed on the thermal
pad and connected to PCB metal on other layers to
help thermal dissipation.
