INFORMATION FOR USING THE D2PAK SURFACE MOUNT PACKAGE
RECOMMENDED FOOTPRINT FOR SURFACE MOUNTED APPLICATIONS
Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the
total design. The footprint for the semiconductor packages
must be the correct size to ensure proper solder connection
interface between the board and the package. With the
correct pad geometry, the packages will self align when
subjected to a solder reflow process.

POWER DISSIPATION FOR A SURFACE MOUNT DEVICE
The power dissipation for a surface mount device is a
function of the Collector pad size. These can vary from the
minimum pad size for soldering to a pad size given for
maximum power dissipation. Power dissipation for a
surface mount device is determined by TJ(max), the
maximum rated junction temperature of the die, RθJA, the
thermal resistance from the device junction to ambient, and
the operating temperature, TA. Using the values provided
on the data sheet, PD can be calculated as follows:
PD =
TJ(max) – TA
RθJA
The values for the equation are found in the maximum
ratings table on the data sheet. Substituting these values
into the equation for an ambient temperature TA of 25°C,
one can calculate the power dissipation of the device. For a
D2PAK device, PD is calculated as follows.
PD =

The 50
°C/W for the D2PAK package assumes the use of
the recommended footprint on a glass epoxy printed circuit
board to achieve a power dissipation of 2.5 Watts. There are
other alternatives to achieving higher power dissipation
from the surface mount packages. One is to increase the
area of the Collector pad. By increasing the area of the
collection pad, the power dissipation can be increased.
Although one can almost double the power dissipation with
this method, one will be giving up area on the printed
circuit board which can defeat the purpose of using surface
mount technology. For example, a graph of RθJA versus
Collector pad area is shown in Figure 32

Another alternative would be to use a ceramic substrate
or an aluminum core board such as Thermal Clad. Using a
board material such as Thermal Clad, an aluminum core
board, the power dissipation can be doubled using the same
footprint.
