● Derating curve
Power dissipation (total loss) indicates the power that can be consumed by IC at Ta=25℃(normal temperature).IC is heated
when it consumed power, and the temperature of IC ship becomes higher than ambient temperature. The temperature that
can be accepted by IC chip depends on circuit configuration, manufacturing process, and consumable power is limited. Power
dissipation is determined by the temperature allowed in IC chip (maximum junction temperature) and thermal resistance of
package (heat dissipation capability). The maximum junction temperature is typically equal to the maximum value in the
storage package (heat dissipation capability). The maximum junction temperature is typically equal to the maximum value in
the storage temperature range. Heat generated by consumed power of IC radiates from the mold resin or lead frame of the
package. The parameter which indicates this heat dissipation capability (hardness of heat release) is called thermal
resistance, represented by the symbol θj-a[℃/W]. The temperature of IC inside the package can be estimated by this thermal
resistance. Fig.6 (a) shows the model of thermal resistance of the package. Thermal resistance θja, ambient temperature Ta,
junction temperature Tj, and power dissipation Pd can be calculated by the equation below :
θja = (Tj-Ta) / Pd

Derating curve in Fig.6 (b) indicates power that can be consumed by IC with reference to ambient temperature. Power that
can be consumed by IC begins to attenuate at certain ambient temperature. This gradient is determined by thermal
resistance θja. Thermal resistance θja depends on chip size, power consumption, package, ambient temperature, package
condition, wind velocity, etc even when the same of package is used. Thermal reduction curve indicates a reference value
measured at a specified condition. Fig7(c)-(f) show a derating curve for an example of BU7251family, BU7252 family, BU7231
family, BU7232 family.
