(1) In this case, the power is separated into two packages. Note that
this allows a considerably smaller heat sink because twice as much
area is available for heat transfer through the thermal grease. For
this reason, separating the stereo channels into two ICs is
recommended in full-power stereo tests made on multichannel
systems.
DCA THERMAL INFORMATION
The thermally enhanced DCA package is based on the
56-pin HTSSOP, but includes a thermal pad (see
Figure 12) to provide an effective thermal contact between
the IC and the PCB.
The PowerPAD package (thermally enhanced HTSSOP)
combines fine-pitch surface-mount technology with
thermal performance comparable to much larger power
packages.
The PowerPAD package is designed to optimize the heat
transfer to the PWB. Because of the very small size and
limited
mass
of
an
HTSSOP
package,
thermal
enhancement is achieved by improving the thermal
conduction paths that remove heat from the component.
The thermal pad is formed using a patented lead-frame
design and manufacturing technique to provide a direct
connection to the heat-generating IC. When this pad is
soldered or otherwise thermally coupled to an external
heat dissipater, high power dissipation in the ultrathin,
fine-pitch, surface-mount package can be reliably
achieved.
Thermal Methodology for the DCA 56-Pin,
2
y15-W, 8-W Package
The thermal design for the DCA part (e.g., thermal pad
soldered to the board) should be similar to the design as
in the following figures. The cooling approach is to conduct
the dissipated heat into the via pads on the board, through
the vias in the board, and into a heat sink (aluminum bar)
(if necessary).
Figure 12 shows a recommended land pattern on the
PCB.
