3 / 6 page Predicting Thermals with FR4 30019203 FIGURE 3. System Diagram 1 Using finite element analysis, the thermal performance of the LM3404HV in PSOP-8 and SO-8 was simulated with three different sized PCBs. These simulations assumed an ambient temperature of 22°C, a power dissipation of 1W, and a 2-layer PCB comprised of 1oz copper on top and bottom, separated by 62mil of FR4. The results are listed below: θ JA (°C/W) PSOP-8 SO-8 1.25" x 1.95" (Eval Board) 55.1 104.8 1" x 1" (Typical Case) 73.0 120.8 0.5" x 0.5" (Worst Case) 240.2 263.7 There is good correlation between the test results and simu- lation results for the Evaluation Board Case. The strong in- fluence of the PCB size can be seen by comparing the results from the demo board to those of the Typical and Worst Cases. Without enough copper area to spread and dissipate heat, the advantages of the exposed pad are reduced, and even the PSOP-8 package will be limited to low power, low ambient temperature applications. Predicting Thermals with Metal- Core PCB 30019204 FIGURE 4. System Diagram 2 Finite element analysis was again used to simulate the per- formance of the LM3404HV when dissipating 1W in PSOP-8 and SO-8 packages on a 1” square section of MCPCB with the following composition: Material Thickness (mil) Thermal Conductivity (W/m-K) Metal Core (6061-T6 aluminum) 40 167 Insulator Material 3 2.4 Copper Traces (75% coverage) 1.4 377 To attain typical operating conditions, the 1” square section containing the LM3404HV was assumed to be part of a larger MCPCB measuring 1” x 6”. The other 5 square inches con- tained 5 high power LEDs, and it was assumed that they heated the entire board to a uniform temperature, TBD, of 50° C (representing a large heatsink) and 75°C (representing a smaller heatsink.) The results for thermal impedance from the board to the LM3404HV die, , are listed below: (°C/W) T BD = 75°C T A = 60°C T BD = 75°C T A = 45°C T BD = 50°C T A = 40°C T BD = 50°C T A = 30°C SO-8 70.5 69.2 71.4 70.5 PSOP- 8 9.8 9.2 10.5 10.1 The parameter can be used to calculate the LM3404HV junction temperature using the following equation: Alternatively, can be used to determine the maximum tol- erable board temperature by working back from a T J-MAX of 125°C: Two main conclusions can be drawn from the results. First, the thermal impedance has little dependence on the board temperature or the ambient temperature, and instead de- pends highly on the package used. Second, the PSOP-8 package is again far superior to the SO-8 package when the DAP is soldered to a mass with low thermal impedance, such as an MCPCB. 3 www.national.com |
