The device capacitive load dissipation is:
EQUATION
PC
=

fCVS
Where:
f = Switching frequency
C = Capacitive load
VS = Supply voltage
Quiescent power dissipation depends on input signal
duty cycle. A logic low input results in a low-power
dissipation mode with only 0.5 mA total current drain.
Logic-high signals raise the current to 5 mA maximum.
The quiescent power dissipation is:
EQUATION
PQ = VS(D(IH) + (1 – D)IL)
Where:
IH = Quiescent current with input high
(5 mA max)
IL = Quiescent current with input low
(0.5 mA max)
D = Duty cycle
Transition power dissipation arises because the output
stage N- and P-channel MOS transistors are ON
simultaneously for a very short period when the output
changes.
The device transition power dissipation is approxi-
mately:

PD = Package power dissipation:
= PC + PT + PQ
= 113 mW + 10 mW + 41 mW
= 164 mW
Maximum ambient operating temperature:
= TJ – θJA (PD)
= 150ºC - (150ºC/W)(0.164W)
= 125°C
Where:
TJ = Maximum allowable junction temperature
(+150°C)
θJA = Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
(150°C/W, CERDIP)

Ambient operating temperature should not
exceed +85ºC for EPA or EOA devices or
+125ºC for MJA devices.

4.5 POWER-ON OSCILLATION
Note:
It is extremely important that all MOSFET
driver applications be evaluated for the
possibility of having high-power oscillations
occur during the power-on cycle.
Power-on oscillations are due to trace size, layout and
component placement. A ‘quick fix’ for most applica-
tions that exhibit power-on oscillation problems is to
place approximately 10 kΩ in series with the input of
the MOSFET driver.
