Power Derating
The device must be operated below the maximum junction
temperature of the device, T
peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating sup-
plied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the
application. This section presents a procedure for correlating
factors affecting operating T

The Package Thermal Resistance, R
marizing the ability of the application and the device to dissipate
heat from the junction (die), through all paths to the ambient air.
Its primary component is the Effective Thermal Conductivity,

traces. Radiation from the die through the device case, R
