a. No heat sink, TA = 70°C. This is an estimate based on a 4-layer PCB that conforms to EIA/JESD51–7
(101.6 mm x 114.3 mm x 1.6 mm) and P = 1.2W continuous dissipation.
b. Absolute junction temperature limits maintained through active thermal monitoring and dynamic TX duty cycle limiting.
23.1.1 Junction Temperature Estimation and PSI Versus Thetajc
Package thermal characterization parameter PSI-JT ( ) yields a better estimation of actual junction temperature (T ) versus using
JT
J
the junction-to-case thermal resistance parameter Theta-J (JC). The reason for this is JC assumes that all the power is dissipated
C
through the top surface of the package case. In actual applications, some of the power is dissipated through the bottom and sides of
the package. takes into account power dissipated through the top, bottom, and sides of the package. The equation for calculat-

ing the device junction temperature is as follows:
T = T + P
