Case temperature calculations offer several advantages over ambient temperature
calculations:
• Case temperature
is
easier to measure accurately than ambient temperature because the
measurement
is
localized to a single point (top center of the package).
o The worst-case junction temperature
(T)
is
lower when calculated with case temperature
for the following reasons:
- The junction-to-case thermal coefficient
(Ojc)
is
lower than the junction-to-ambient
thermal coefficient
(OJ.);
therefore, calculated junction temperature varies less with
power dissipation
(PD).
-
Ojc
is
not affected by air
flow
in the system;
Oja
varies with air
flow.
