Thermal Characteristics
The average chip-junction temperature (TJ) in °C can be obtained from:
Eqn. 1
Where:
TA
= Ambient Temperature,
°C
QJMA
= Package Thermal Resistance, Junction-to-Ambient,
°C/W
PD
=PINT + PI/O
PINT
=IDD × IVDD, Watts - Chip Internal Power
PI/O
= Power Dissipation on Input and Output Pins — User Determined
For most applications PI/O < PINT and can be ignored. An approximate relationship between PD and TJ (if PI/O is neglected) is:
Eqn. 2
Solving equations 1 and 2 for K gives:
Eqn. 3

JMA and Ψjt parameters are simulated in conformance with EIA/JESD Standard 51-2 for natural convection.
Freescale recommends the use of
θ
JmA and power dissipation specifications in the system design to prevent
device junction temperatures from exceeding the rated specification. System designers should be aware that
device junction temperatures can be significantly influenced by board layout and surrounding devices.
Conformance to the device junction temperature specification can be verified by physical measurement in the
customer’s system using the
Ψ
jt parameter, the device power dissipation, and the method described in
EIA/JESD Standard 51-2.
