power loss curve at 84A (See Figure 37), with the 1.35
multiplying factor. If the 76°C ambient temperature is
subtracted from the 125°C junction temperature, then
the difference of °C divided by 12.56W yields a thermal
resistance, θ
, of ~4°C/W—in good agreement with the
JA
value derived from thermal simulation shown in the Pin
Configuration section. Table 10–Table 12 provide equiva-
lent thermal resistances for 0.4V, 0.6V and 0.7V outputs
with and without airflow.

Table 10– Table 12 for the various conditions can be multi-
plied by the calculated power loss as a function of ambient
temperature to derive temperature rise above ambient,
thus maximum junction temperature. Room temperature
power loss can be derived from the efficiency curves
in the Typical Performance Characteristics section and
adjusted with the above ambient temperature multiplica-
tive factors.
