6. Mitigated Curve of Package Power Loss, PdPK, vs. Ambient Temperature, Ta
Package power loss, PdPK, refers to the average internal power loss, PdAV, allowable without a heat sink.
The figure below represents the allowable power loss, PdPK, vs. fluctuations in the ambient temperature, Ta.
Power loss of up to 2.8W is allowable at Ta=25°C, and of up to 1.5W at Ta=60°C.
* The package thermal resistance θc-a is 28.6°C/W.
