POWER CONSIDERATIONS
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the ICS85311.
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1. Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation of the ICS85311 is the sum of the core power plus the power dissipated in the load(s).
The following is the power dissipation for VCC = 3.3V + 5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results.
NOTE: Please refer to Section 3 for details on calculating power dissipated in the load.
•Power (core) = VCC * IEE = 3.465V * 25mA = 86.6mW
•Power (outputs) = 30.2mW/Loaded Output pair
If all outputs are loaded, the total power is 2 x 30.2mW = 60.4mW
Total Power (3.465V, with all outputs switching) = 86.6mW + 60.4mW = 147mW
2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad and directly affects the
reliability of the device. The maximum recommended junction temperature for HiPerClockSTM devices is 125°C.
In order to determine if the junction temperature is below 125°C, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance θJA
must be used
in conjunction with the total power dissipation. Assuming a moderate air low of 200 linear
feet per minute and a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 103.3°C/W per the table below:
Tj = θJA * Pd_total + TA where Pd_total is the total power dissipation of the device and TA is the ambient
temperature. Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 70°C with all outputs switching is:
70°C + 0.147W * 103.3°C/W = 85.2°C. This is well below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example, and the Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of outputs that are
loaded, supply voltage, air flow, and the type of board (single layer or multi-layer).
