RR3-1 to RR3-20. The output connects to the case of all
devices in the LT1584/LT1585/LT1587 series.
For example, using an LT1585CT-3.3 (TO-220, commer-
cial) and assuming:
V
IN
(Max Continuous) = 5.25V (5V + 5%), V
OUT
= 3.3V,

= 4.6A
T
A
= 70°C, θ

CASE-TO-HEAT SINK
= 1°C/W (with Thermal Compound)
Power dissipation under these conditions is equal to:
P
D
= (V

) = (5.25 – 3.3)(4.6) = 9W
Junction temperature will be equal to:

For the Control Section:
T
J
= 70°C + 9W (4°C/W + 1°C/W + 0.7°C/W) = 121.3°C
121.3°C < 125°C = T

range)
For the Power Transistor:
T
J
=
70°C
+ 9W (4°C/W + 1°C/W + 3°C/W) = 142°C
142°C < 150°C = T
JMAX
(Power Transistor Commercial
Range)
In both cases the junction temperature is below the maxi-
mum rating for the respective sections, ensuring reliable
operation.
