11 Thermal characteristics
The maximum chip junction temperature (TJ max) must never exceed the values given in
Operating conditions.
The maximum chip-junction temperature, TJmax, in degrees Celsius, may be calculated using
the following equation:
TJmax = TAmax + (PDmax x ΘJA)
Where:
• TAmax is the maximum ambient temperature in °C
• ΘJA is the package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in °C/W
• PDmax is the sum of PINTmax and PI/Omax (PDmax = PINTmax + PI/Omax)
• PINTmax is the product of IDD andVDD, expressed in Watts. This is the maximum chip internal
power.
• PI/Omax represents the maximum power dissipation on output pins
Where: PI/Omax =Σ (VOL*IOL) + Σ((VDD-VOH)*IOH), taking into account the actual VOL/IOL and
VOH/IOH of the I/Os at low and high level in the application.
