• (1) Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is intended to be functional. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.

• (2) The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k Ω resistor into each pin. Test method is per JESD-22-114.

For the design case of VIN = 24V, VO = 3.3V, IO = 1A, TAMB(MAX) = 85°C , and TJUNCTION = 125°C, the device must see a thermal resistance from case to ambient of less than:

Given the typical thermal resistance from junction to case to be 1.9 °C/W. Use the 85°C power dissipation curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section to estimate the PIC-LOSS for the application being designed. In this application it is 0.52W.

θ

CA

= (125 - 85) / 0.52W - 1.9 = 75

To reach θ CA = 75, the PCB is required to dissipate heat effectively. With no airflow and no external heat, a good estimate of the required board area covered by 1 oz. copper on both the top and bottom metal layers is:

As a result, approximately 6 square cm of 1 oz copper on top and bottom layers is required for the PCB design. Additional area will decrease die temperature proportionately. The PCB copper heat sink must be connected to the exposed pad. Approximately thirty six, 8mils thermal vias spaced 59mils (1.5 mm) apart must connect the top copper to the bottom copper. For an example of a high thermal performance PCB layout of approximately 31 square cm area. Refer to the Evaluation Board application note AN-2024 SNVA422. For more information on thermal design see AN-2020 SNVA419 and AN-2026 SNVA424.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
