POWER DISSIPATION AND JUNCTION TEMPERATURE
Specified regulator operation is assured to a junction temperature of 125°C; the maximum junction temperature allowable
without damaging the device is 150°C. This restriction limits the power dissipation the regulator can handle in any given
application. To ensure the junction temperature is within acceptable limits, calculate the maximum allowable dissipation,
P
, and the actual dissipation, P , which must be less than or equal to P
.
