1 Thermal characteristics are targets based on simulation that are subject to change per device characterization.
2 VDD = 3.3 V ± 10% / 5.0 V ± 10%, TA = 40 to 125 °C.
3 All values need to be confirmed during device validation.
4 Junction temperature is a function of die size, on-chip power dissipation, package thermal resistance, mounting site
(board) temperature, ambient temperature, air flow, power dissipation of other components on the board, and board
thermal resistance.
5 Junction-to-Ambient thermal resistance determined per JEDEC JESD51-3 and JESD51-6.
6 Junction-to-Ambient thermal resistance determined per JEDEC JESD51-2 and JESD51-6
7 Junction-to-Board thermal resistance determined per JEDEC JESD51-8.

2 Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance determined per JEDEC JESD51-2 with the single layer board horizontal.
Board meets JESD51-9 specification.
3 Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance determined per JEDEC JESD51-6 with the board horizontal.
4.5.2 Power considerations
The average chip-junction temperature, TJ, in degrees Celsius, may be calculated using Equation 1:
TJ = TA + (PD RJA)
Where:
TA is the ambient temperature in °C.
RJA is the package junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, in °C/W.
PD is the sum of PINT and PI/O (PD = PINT + PI/O).
PINT is the product of IDD and VDD, expressed in watts. This is the chip internal power.
PI/O represents the power dissipation on input and output pins; user determined.
