For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the application report, Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal

Metrics.

(2)

Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 7-lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with ½ inch leads in a

socket, or on a PCB with minimum copper area.

(3)

Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 7-lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with ½ inch leads

soldered to a PCB containing approximately 4 square inches of (1 oz.) copper area surrounding the leads.

(4)

Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 7-lead DDPAK mounted horizontally against a PCB area of 0.136 square inches (the

same size as the DDPAK package) of 1 oz (0.0014 in thick) copper.

(5)

Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 7-lead DDPAK mounted horizontally against a PCB area of 0.4896 square inches (3.6

times the area of the DDPAK package) of 1 oz (0.0014 in thick) copper.

(6)

Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 7-lead DDPAK mounted horizontally against a PCB copper area of 1.0064 square inches

(7.4 times the area of the DDPAK 3 package) of 1 oz (0.0014 in thick) copper. Additional copper area will reduce thermal resistance

further.

(7)

Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 14-lead VSON mounted on a PCB copper area equal to the die attach paddle.

(8)

Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 14-lead VSON mounted on a PCB copper area using 12 vias to a second layer of copper

equal to die attach paddle. Additional copper area will reduce thermal resistance further. For layout recommendations, see Application

Note AN-1187 Leadless Leadfram Package (LLP).
