9. Thermal characteristics
The average chip junction temperature, Tj (C), can be calculated using the following
equation:
Tj = Tamb + PD Rthj – a
• Tamb = ambient temperature (C),
• Rth(j-a) = the package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (C/W)
• PD = sum of internal and I/O power dissipation

VDD = 3.0 V to 3.6 V; Tamb = 40 C to +85 C unless otherwise specified;
