temperature of the die (125°C) and TA is the operated
ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal
resistance (θJA is layout dependent) for TSOT-23-6 package
is 220°C/W and WDFN-8L 2x2 is 165°C/W on the standard
JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test board. The maximum
power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by
following formula :
PD(MAX) = ( 125°C - 25°C ) / 220 = 0.455 W for TSOT-23-6
packages
P D(MAX) = ( 125°C - 25°C ) / 165 = 0.606 W for
WDFN-8L 2x2 packages
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. For RT9011 packages, the Figure 3 of de-
rating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising
ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed.
