THERMAL RESISTANCE
HEATSINK DESIGN EXAMPLE
With derating of 8 K/W, the value of heatsink thermal resistance is calculated as follows:
given R
L
= 8 Ω and V
P
= 24 V, the measured maximum dissipation is 4,1 W; then, for a maximum ambient temperature
of 60 °C, the required thermal resistance of the heatsink is:
Note: The metal tab (heatsink) has the same potential as pin 5 (GND).
