20.1 Thermal Design Considerations
An estimation of the chip junction temperature, T
Historically, thermal resistance has been expressed as the sum of a junction-to-case thermal resistance and
a case-to-ambient thermal resistance.
R
change the case-to-ambient thermal resistance, R
the device, add a heat sink, change the mounting arrangement on the printed circuit board (PCB), or
otherwise change the thermal dissipation capability of the area surrounding the device on a PCB. This
model is most useful for ceramic packages with heat sinks; some 90% of the heat flow is dissipated through
the case to the heat sink and out to the ambient environment. For ceramic packages, in situations where
the heat flow is split between a path to the case and an alternate path through the PCB, analysis of the
device thermal performance may need the additional modeling capability of a system level thermal
simulation tool.
The thermal performance of plastic packages is more dependent on the temperature of the PCB to which
the package is mounted. Again, if the estimations obtained from R
the thermal performance is adequate, a system level model may be appropriate.
A complicating factor is the existence of three common ways for determining the junction-to-case thermal
resistance in plastic packages.

Where:
To minimize temperature variation across the surface, the thermal resistance is measured from the
junction to the outside surface of the package (case) closest to the chip mounting area when that
surface has a proper heat sink.
To define a value approximately equal to a junction-to-board thermal resistance, the thermal
resistance is measured from the junction to where the leads are attached to the case.
If the temperature of the package case (T
resistance is computed using the value obtained by the equation
