THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS
Thermal analysis must be performed in the intended application to prevent the WM8352 from
exceeding maximum junction temperature. Several contributing factors affect thermal performance
most notably the physical properties of the mechanical enclosure, location of the device on the PCB
in relation to surrounding components and the number of PCB layers. Connecting the nine central
GND balls through thermal vias and into a large ground plane will aid heat extraction.
Three main heat transfer paths exist to surrounding air:
The temperature rise T
The junction temperature T
The worst case conditions are when the WM8352 is operating in a high ambient temperature, with
low supply voltage, high duty cycle and high output current. Under such conditions, it is possible that
the heat dissipated could exceed the maximum junction temperature of the device. Care must be
taken to avoid this situation. An example calculation of the junction temperature is given below.
The minimum and maximum operating junction temperatures for the WM8352 are quoted in
Section 5. The maximum junction temperature is 125°C. Therefore, the junction temperature in the
above example is within the operating limits of the WM8352.
