3.20.1 General notes for specifications at maximum junction temperature
An estimation of the chip junction temperature, T
J
, can be obtained from the equation:
T
J
= T
A
+ (R

where:
T
A
= ambient temperature for the package (

R
JA
= junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (

C/W)
P
D
= power dissipation in the package (W)
The thermal resistance values used are based on the JEDEC JESD51 series of standards to provide consistent values for
estimations and comparisons. The difference between the values determined for the single-layer (1s) board compared to a
four-layer board that has two signal layers, a power and a ground plane (2s2p), demonstrate that the effective thermal resistance
is not a constant. The thermal resistance depends on the:

Junction temperature is a function of die size, on-chip power dissipation, package thermal resistance,
mounting site (board) temperature, ambient temperature, air flow, power dissipation of other components on
the board, and board thermal resistance.
