Thermal Data
Two-parameter model
Power dissipation is generated in the components mounted on the
ceramic substrate. The thermal properties of the PKG DC/DC power
module is determined by thermal conduction in the connected pins
and thermal convection from the substrate via the case.
The two-parameter model characterize the thermal properties of the
PKG power module and the equation below can be used for thermal
design purposes if detailed information is needed. The values are given
for a power module mounted on a printed board assembly (PBA).
Note that the thermal resistance between the substrate and the air,
R
th sub-A
is strongly dependent on the air velocity.

Air velocity in free convection is 0.2–0.3 m/s (40-60 lfm).
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
The PKG DC/DC power modules have an internal over temperature
protection circuit. If the case temperature exceeds min +115°C the
power module will go in to OTP-mode. As long as the case tempera-
ture exceeds min +115°C the power module will operate in OTP-
mode.
During OTP-mode the output voltage pulsates between zero and
nominal output voltage, which reduces the power loss inside the
power module. The PKG DC/DC power module will automatically
resume normal operation when the temperature decreases below
min +115°C.
