Plastic θ Considerations
jc
The data listed for plastic θ are for reference only and are not recommended for use in calculating junction temperatures. The
jc
heat-flow paths in plastic-encapsulated devices are complex, making the θ measurement relative to a specific location on the
jc
package surface. Tests indicate this measurement reference point is directly below the die-attach area on the bottom center of
the package. Furthermore, θ tests on packages are performed in a constant-temperature bath, keeping the package surface at
jc
a constant temperature. Therefore, the measurements can only be used in a similar environment. TQFP thermal measurements
are taken with components on a six-layer printed circuit board.
