Calculation of the Maximum Case Temperature
The VSC7927 is designed to operate with a maximum junction temperature of 125°C. The rise from the
case to junction is determined by the power dissipation of the device. The power dissipation is determined by
the V
SS
current plus the operating I
MOD
and I
BIAS
currents.
The power of the chip is determined by the following formula:
P
D
= (-V
SS
* I
SS
) + ((V
IOUT
– V
SS
) * I
MOD
) + ((V
IBIAS
– V
SS
) * I
BIAS
)
For example with:

-
- 2.0) * 20mA)
780mW + 128mW + 64mW = 972mW
The thermal rise from junction-to-case is
θ
JC
* P
D
. For the ceramic package,
θ
JCP
= 25°C/W. Thus the ther-
mal rise is:
25°C/W * 972W = 24.3°C
The maximum case temperature is:
125°C – 24.3°C = 100.7°C
The absolute maximum power dissipation of the device is at:

1.43W
This will net a maximum junction to case thermal rise of: 1.43W * 25°C/W = 35.8°C
This situation will allow maximum case temperature of: 35.8°C – 58°C = 89.2°C
