PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS7A96EVM-106 evaluation board was used to develop the thermal model. The DSC package is a 3-mm × 3-mm, 10-pin VQFN with 25-μm plating on each via. The EVM is a 2.85-inch × 3.35-inch (72.39 mm × 85.09 mm) PCB comprised of four layers. Table 8-5 lists the layer stackup for the EVM. Figure 8-18 to Figure 8-22 illustrate the various layer details for the EVM.
| LAYER | NAME | MATERIAL | THICKNESS (mil) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Top overlay | — | — |
| 2 | Top solder | Solder resist | 0.4 |
| 3 | Top layer | Copper | 2.8 |
| 4 | Dielectric 1 | FR-4 high Tg | 10 |
| 5 | Mid layer 1 | Copper | 2.8 |
| 6 | Dielectric 2 | FR-4 high Tg | 30 |
| 7 | Mid layer 2 | Copper | 2.8 |
| 8 | Dielectric 3 | FR-4 high Tg | 10 |
| 9 | Bottom layer | Copper | 2.8 |
| 10 | Bottom solder | Solder resist | 0.4 |
Figure 8-23 to Figure 8-25 show the thermal gradient on the PCB and device that results when a 1-W power dissipation is used through the pass transistor with a 25°C ambient temperature. Table 8-6 shows thermal simulation data for the TPS7A96EVM-106.
| DUT | RθJA (°C/W) | ?JB (°C/W) | ?JT (°C/W) |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A96EVM-106 | 25.6 | 11.5 | 0.3 |
