Thermal Considerations
The power dissipation in the SC4215J is given by the fol-
lowing equation:
PD ≈ IO(VIN - VO)
The allowable power dissipation will be dependant upon
the thermal impedance achieved in the application. The
derating curve below is valid for the thermal impedance
specified in the Thermal Information section on page 3.
