Thermal considerations
The thermal design is important to prevent the thermal shutdown of device if junction
temperature goes above 150 °C. The three different sources of losses within the device are:
Equation 27
Where D is the duty cycle of the application and the maximum R
Note that the duty cycle is theoretically given by the ratio between V
it is quite higher to compensate the losses of the regulator. So the conduction losses
increases compared with the ideal case.
Equation 28
Where T

calculated as the parallel of many paths of heat conduction from the junction to the ambient.
For this device the path through the exposed pad is the one conducting the largest amount
of heat. The Rth
