=0.48 (deg. C./W) Thermally connect Heat Sink
Tch(delta)=(Pout/Efficiency-Pout+Pin) x Rth(ch-Pe bottom)=(65W/55%-65W+5.5) x 0.48=28.2 (deg. C.) Also, operating Tj(“Tj(op)”)=140 (deg. C.), in case of RD series that Tch(max)=175 (deg. C.) Therefore
TPe bottom-air as delta temperature between Pe bottom and ambient 60 deg. C.* is
TPe bottom-air=“Tj(op)” - Tch(delta) - Ta(60deg.C.)=140-28.2-60=51.8 (deg. C.) *: an instance assuming high temperature of standard ambient conditions is 60 deg. C.
In terms of long-term reliability, “Tj(op)” has to be kept less than 140 deg. C. i.e. TPe bottom-air has to be less than 51.8 deg. C.. The thermal resistance of the heat sink to border it: Rth(Pe bottom-air)=TPe bottom-air/(Pout/Efficiency-Pout+Pin)=51.8/(65W/55%-65W+5.5)=0.88 (deg. C./W) Therefore it is preferable that the thermal resistance of the heat sink is much smaller than 0.88 deg. C./W. For assembly method including relevant precaution, refer to AN-GEN-070
