HEATSINK EXAMPLE
Assume VP= 18 V; RL= 8 ; Tamb = 60 °C maximum; Tj= 150 °C (max. for a 4 W application into an 8 load, the
maximum dissipation is about 2,2 W).
The thermal resistance from junction to ambient can be expressed as:
Since Rth j-tab = 11 K/W and Rth tab-h = 1 K/W, Rth h-a = 41 (11 + 1) = 29 K/W.
Rth j-a Rth j-tab Rth tab-h Rth h-a 150 60
