THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Note:
1.
Junction temperature is a function of ambient temperature and of the device operating conditions. The ambient
temperature limits and junction temperature limits must both be observed.
Thermal analysis should be performed in the intended application to prevent the WM9090 from
exceeding maximum junction temperature. Several contributing factors affect thermal performance
most notably the physical properties of the mechanical enclosure, location of the device on the PCB
in relation to surrounding components and the number of PCB layers. Connecting the GND balls
through thermal vias and into a large ground plane will aid heat extraction.
Three main heat transfer paths exist to surrounding air as illustrated below in Figure 1:
