Selecting the product temperature range

When ordering the microcontroller, the temperature range is specified in the ordering
information scheme shown in
Each temperature range suffix corresponds to a specific guaranteed ambient temperature at
maximum dissipation and, to a specific maximum junction temperature.
As applications do not commonly use the STM32F038x6 at maximum dissipation, it is useful
to calculate the exact power consumption and junction temperature to determine which
temperature range will be best suited to the application.
The following examples show how to calculate the temperature range needed for a given
application.
Example 1: High-performance application
Assuming the following application conditions:
Maximum ambient temperature T

General operating
In this case, parts must be ordered at least with the temperature range suffix 6 (see

Suffix 6: T
Suffix 7: T
Example 2: High-temperature application
Using the same rules, it is possible to address applications that run at high ambient
temperatures with a low dissipation, as long as junction temperature T
