Richtek Technology 

The maximum power dissipation depends on operating

ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal

resistance θJA. For RT8015 package, the Figure 3 of de-

rating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising

ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed.

The thermal resistance θJA of SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is

determined by the package design and the PCB design.

However, the package design had been designed. If

possible, it’ s useful to increase thermal performance by

the PCB design. The thermal resistance θJA can be

decreased by adding a copper under the exposed pad of

SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package.

As shown in Figure 4, the amount of copper area to which

the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) is mounted affects thermal

performance. When mounted to the standard SOP-8

(Exposed Pad) pad (Figure 4.a), θJA is 75°C/W. Adding

copper area of pad under the SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) (Figure

4.b) reduces the θJA to 64°C/W. Even further, increasing

the copper area of pad to 70mm2 (Figure 4.e) reduces the

θJA to 49°C/W.
