3A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator

The
θ
JA
could be decreased with respect to the copper plane area. So, the specification of maximum
power dissipation for an application is fixed, the proper plane area could be estimated by following graphs.
Wider copper plane area leads lower
θ
JA
.
The maximum allowable power dissipation is also influenced by the ambient temperature. With the
θ
JA
-
Copper plane area relationship, the maximum allowable power dissipation could be evaluated with
respect to the ambient temperature. As shown in graph, the higher copper plane area leads
θ
JA
. And
the higher ambient temperature leads lower maximum allowable power dissipation.
