Power Derating
The device must be operated below the maximum junction
temperature of the device, T
peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating supplied
power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the appli-
cation. This section presents a procedure for correlating factors
affecting operating T

The Package Thermal Resistance, R
marizing the ability of the application and the device to dissipate
heat from the junction (die), through all paths to the ambient air.
Its primary component is the Effective Thermal Conductivity, K,
of the printed circuit board, including adjacent devices and traces.
Radiation from the die through the device case, R
