OSD335x C-SiP Thermal Guide

Published On: January, 25, 2019 By: Eshtaartha Basu

1.

Introduction

The temperature of a device during operation in a system is an important parameter as it affects many properties such as device functionality, reliability and life. Since OSD335x C-SiP is a System-in-Package (SiP) with several ICs and passive components, single IC package data cannot be used to estimate its thermal characteristics. Hence, it was necessary to characterize OSD335x C-SiP for its thermal behavior.

This document will provide thermal characteristics of OSD335x C-SiP and a way to estimate junction temperature. We will also give a comparison of OSD335x C-SiP with a similar system of discrete components.

OSD335x C-SiP Thermal Parameters

Measuring Case Temperature and Estimating Junction Temperature of the OSD335x C-SiP

To measure the case temperature of OSD335x C-SiP:

  1. Tools needed: Thermocouple (Perfect-Prime TL0225 surface contact, 0.25mm diameter with K-Type Sensor Probe) or FLIR ONE PRO Thermal Camera.
  2. Calibrate thermocouple or other temperature-measuring device such as FLIR ONE PRO with known temperatures such as ice-cold water and boiling water.
  3. Place the SiP in an enclosure so that there are no stray air currents while making measurements and run the desired application on it.
  4. Make contact or fix the thermocouple on the package or focus FLIR ONE PRO on the package. For thermocouples, make sure of good contact with the top surface of the SiP using thermal grease.
  5. Record the case temperature (TC) once the temperature is stabilized.
  6. Measure the input power (P) consumed by the SiP.
  7. Case temperature (TC) thus obtained may be used to verify if the SiP is operating under conditions specified in the datasheet.

 

It may be desirable to estimate the Junction Temperature (TJ) of the AM3358 Die inside the System-in-Package. In this case it can be estimated with the following equation:
