Application Hints
The next parameter which must be calculated is the maxi-
mum allowable temperature rise, T
by using the formula:
where: T
Using the calculated values for T
required value for junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
The heatsink is made using the PC board copper. The heat
is conducted from the die, through the lead frame (inside the
part), and out the pins which are soldered to the PC board.
The pins used for heat conduction are given in Table 1.
Figure 2 shows copper patterns which may be used to
dissipate heat from the LP2952 and LP2953. Table 2 shows
some values of junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θ
for values of L and W for 1 oz. copper.

HEATSINK REQUIREMENTS (Military Temperature
Range Devices)
The
LP2953AMJ is limited by the maximum junction temperature
(+150˚C) and the two parameters that determine how quickly
heat flows away from the die: the ambient temperature and
the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the part.
