generation of heat in the junctions at the surface of the chip.
This heat is transferred to the surface of the IC package, but
a thermal gradient exists due to the resistive properties of the
package molding compound. The magnitude of the thermal
gradient is expressed in manufacturers’ data sheets as q
or junction−to−ambient thermal resistance. The on−chip
junction temperature can be calculated if q

power dissipation are known.

Circuit Layout Guidelines
important for proper operation. Rapidly switching currents
combined with trace inductance generates voltage
transitions that can cause problems. Therefore the following
guidelines should be followed in the layout.
In any switching power supply, circuit layout is very

loop composed of the diode, output capacitor, and
on−chip power transistor. The length of associated
traces and leads should be kept as short as possible. In
the flyback circuit, high AC current loops exist on both
sides of the transformer. On the primary side, the loop
consists of the input capacitor, transformer, and
on−chip power transistor, while the transformer,
rectifier diodes, and output capacitors form another
loop on the secondary side. Just as in the boost circuit,
all traces and leads containing large AC currents
should be kept short.

plane construction for the best results.
