PCS2I99447
If the calculated maximum frequency is below 350 MHz, it
becomes the upper clock speed limit for the given
application conditions. The following eight derating charts
describe the safe frequency operation range for the
PCS2I99447. The charts were calculated for a maximum
tolerable die junction temperature of 110°C (120°C),
corresponding to an estimated MTBF of 9.1 years
(4 years), a supply voltage of 3.3V and series terminated
transmission line or capacitive loading. Depending on a
given set of these operating conditions and the available
device convection a decision on the maximum operating
frequency can be made.
TJ,MAX should be selected according to the MTBF
system requirements and Table 9. Rthja can be derived
from Table 10. The Rthja represent data based on 1S2P
boards, using 2S2P boards will result in a lower thermal
impedance than indicated below.
