TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
POWER DISSIPATION
cycle of 95%. This value is far from the 150ºC maximum
guaranteed junction.
CONCLUSION
Knowing the application conditions, this document
explained how to calculate power dissipation during on-state
and switching phases and the junction temperature for the
33981 when controlling a DC motor. A concrete example with
a 200 W DC motor was given in section DC Motor 200 W. The
same principle can be used for other DC motor and other
environmental conditions.
