Data SheetADP7159ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Table 4. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of the package ParameterRating is based on modeling and calculation using a 4-layer board. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly dependent on VIN to Ground −0.3 V to +7 V the application and board layout. In applications where high VREG to Ground −0.3 V to VIN or +4 V (whichever is less) maximum power dissipation exists, close attention to thermal VOUT to Ground −0.3 V to VREG or +4 V board design is required. The θJA value can vary, depending on (whichever is less) PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. The specified VOUT_SENSE to Ground −0.3 V to VREG or +4 V values of θJA are based on a 4-layer, 4 in. × 3 in. circuit board. (whichever is less) See the JESD51-7 standard and the JESD51-9 standard for VOUT to VOUT_SENSE ±0.3 V detailed information on the board construction. BYP to VOUT ±0.3 V ΨJB is the junction-to-board thermal characterization parameter EN to Ground −0.3 V to +7 V with units of °C/W. ΨJB of the package is based on modeling and BYP to Ground −0.3 V to VREG or +4 V calculation using a 4-layer board. JESD51-12, Guidelines for (whichever is less) Reporting and Using Electronic Package Thermal Information, REF to Ground −0.3 V to VREG or +4 V (whichever is less) states that thermal characterization parameters are not the same REF_SENSE to Ground −0.3 V to +4 V as thermal resistances. ΨJB measures the component power Storage Temperature Range −65°C to +150°C flowing through multiple thermal paths rather than a single Operational Junction Temperature −40°C to +125°C path as in thermal resistance, θJB. Therefore, ΨJB thermal paths Range include convection from the top of the package as wel as Soldering Conditions JEDEC J-STD-020 radiation from the package, factors that make ΨJB more useful in real-world applications. Maximum junction temperature (T Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum J) is calculated from the board temperature (T Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a B) and power dissipation (P stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these D) using the following formula: or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational TJ = TB + (PD × ΨJB) section of this specification is not implied.

The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is dependent on the ambient temperature (T A), the power dissipation of the device (P D), and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the package (θJA). The maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the ambient temperature (TA) and power dissipation (PD) using the following formula: TJ = TA + (PD × θJA) Rev.
