7.1 Estimation with Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
An estimation of the chip junction temperature, TJ, in °C can be obtained from the following equation:
T = T + (R
× P )

where:
T = ambient temperature ºC

R
= package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (ºC/W)
θJA
P = power dissipation in package
D
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is an industry standard value that provides a quick and easy
estimation of thermal performance. However, the answer is only an estimate; test cases have demonstrated
that errors of a factor of two (in the quantity T –T ) are possible.

7.2 Estimation with Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance
Historically, thermal resistance has frequently been expressed as the sum of a junction-to-case thermal
resistance and a case-to-ambient thermal resistance:

the device, add a heat sink, change the mounting arrangement on the printed circuit board, or change the

for ceramic packages with heat sinks where some 90% of the heat flows through the case and the heat sink
to the ambient environment. For most packages, a better model is required.
