Heat conductivity
Power dissipation and maximum component temperature rise
The power dissipation must be limited in order not to exceed the maximum allowed component temperature rise as a
function of the free air ambient temperature.
The power dissipation can be calculated according chapter “Introduction”, section “Maximum power dissipation”.
The component temperature rise (DT) can be measured (see section “Measuring the component temperature” for more
details) or calculated by
:
•∆T = component temperature rise (°C).
• P = power dissipation of the component (mW).
• G = heat conductivity of the component (mW/°C).
