RT9466 Pin Configuration
RT9466 Thermal Information
The junction temperature should never exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings, to avoid permanent damage to the device. The maximum allowable power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC package, the PCB layout, the rate of surrounding airflow, and the difference between the junction and ambient temperatures. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated using the following formula :
$$P_{D(MAX)} = (T_{J(MAX)} - T_A) / \theta_{JA}$$
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θ JA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
For continuous operation, the maximum operating junction temperature indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions is 125 ° C. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ JA, is highly package dependent. For a WQFN-24L 4x4 package, the thermal resistance, θ JA, is 22 ° C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 high effective-thermalconductivity four-layer test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25 ° C can be calculated as below :
PD(MAX) = (125 ° C -25 ° C) / (22 ° C/W) = 4.54W for a WQFN-24L 4x4 package.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating ambient temperature for the fixed TJ(MAX) and the thermal resistance, θ JA. The derating curves in Figure 1 allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation.
