).
The
θ
JA
numbers are guidelines for the thermal performance of the device/pc-board system.
All of the above assume no ambient airflow.
*
θ
JAcan be improved with package soldered to 0.5IN
2 copper area over backside ground
plane or internal power plane.
θ
JAcan vary from 20ºC/W to > 40ºC/W depending on
mounting technique.
