Low dropout regulators, high PSRR, 150 mA
7. Thermal characteristics
[1] The overall R
th(j-a)
can vary depending on the board layout. To minimize the effective R
th(j-a)
, all pins must
have a solid connection to larger Cu layer areas for example to the power and ground layer. In multilayer
PCB applications, the second layer is used to create a large heat spreader area directly below the LDO. If
this layer is either ground or power, it is connected with several vias to the top layer connecting to the
device ground or supply. Avoid the use of solder-stop varnish under the chip.
[2] Use the measurement data given for a rough estimation of the R
th(j-a)
in your application. The actual R
th(j-a)
value can vary in applications using different layer stacks and layouts.
