In the above example, let’s say that the user’s load current is
200 mA and he wants to calculate the combined q
C-S
and
q
S-A
he needs:
Given: I
O
= 200 mA,
= 11.75°C/W
Given q
J-C
= 7.15°C/W for the 4194 in the K package,
q
C-S
+ q
S-A
= 11.75°C/W – 7.15°C/W
= 4.6°C/W
When using heatsink compound with a metal-to-metal
interface, a typical q
C-S
= 0.5°C/W for the K package.
The remaining q
S-A
of approximately 4°C/W is a large
enough thermal resistance to be easily provided by a number
of heatsinks currently available. Table 1 is a brief selection
guide to heatsink manufacturers.
