ADAU1466 Thermal Information

The capabilities of the ADAU1462/ADAU1466 are such that it is possible to configure the device in a mode where its power dissipation can risk exceeding the absolute maximum junction temperature. The junction temperature reached in a device is influenced by several factors, for example, the power dissipated in the device; the thermal efficiency of the printed circuit board (PCB) design; the maximum ambient temperature supported in the application.

To ensure that the ADAU1462/ADAU1466 does not exceed its absolute maximum junction temperature in an application, thermal considerations must be taken from the start of the design (for example: likely modes of operation, thermal considerations in the PCB design (see the AN-772 Application Note), and thermal simulations) to its finish (qualification at the maximum ambient temperature supported in the application).

While all of the following thermal coefficients can be used to analyze the thermal performance of ADAU1462/ADAU1466, ψJT is the most reflective of real-world applications and is recommended as the primary approach for thermal qualification.

  • 1 Based on simulation using a JEDEC 2s2p thermal test PCB with 25 thermal vias in a JEDEC natural convection environment, as per JESD51.
  • 2 Based on simulation using a JEDEC 2s2p thermal test PCB with 25 thermal vias in a JEDEC Junction to Board environment, as per JESD51.

3 Based on simulation using a cold plate attached directly to exposed paddle.

To employ the ψJT-based approach to thermal analysis,

  1. Configure the ADAU1462/ADAU1466 in the highest power mode of operation to be used in the application and record the power dissipated in the device.
  2. Compute the maximum allowable surface temperature, TS_MAX:

TS_MAX = TJ_MAX - ( Power × ψJT )

  1. Measure the case temperature at the center of the ADAU1462/ADAU1466 package (TS) at the maximum ambient temperature supported in the application and compare to TS_MAX.
  2. For safe operation, use TS < TS_MAX in the highest power mode of operation in the application.
