Thermal Characteristic of LDO

[royS7]

The thermal characteristics of the LDL112PU33R show the junction to ambient thermal resistance (JA) and the junction to case thermal resistance (JC). However, the junction to board thermal resistance (JB) is missing. We need this characteristic for thermal simulation of the component on a board. Can anyone provide it or provide the necessary resources?

Thanks.

Welcome @royS7, to the community!

Rthjc is the thermal resistance from the chip to the board. For DFN and PPAK, this refers to the metal underside (slug), for SO8 to the pins. Rthjc is usually sufficient for thermal simulation.

Hope that helps?

Could we consider Theta(JC) = Theta(JB) in this case?

 

[Peter BENSCH]

Yes, in your case you can set Theta(JC) = Theta(JB).

Good luck!
