INTRODUCTION
and aforementioned vias is shown in Figure 3 of the
subsequent section.
Mounting the device on a pcb requires careful attention
toward soldering techniques. Negligent soldering practices
may result in a short circuit due to the formation of a
conducting bridge across the minuscule distance (0.15 mm)
between pins.
ON Semiconductor dual small signal MOSFETs offered
in the ultra−small SOT−963 527AD package are optimized
for power management in space−constrained portable
electronics. The package exhibits a 30% smaller mount area
than comparable MOSFET solutions offered in a single
SOT−723 package and a 60% smaller footprint than
SOT−563 devices.
This technical note discusses the SOT−963 527AD
package overview, pad pattern, evaluation board layout and
thermal performance.
PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Figure 1 illustrates a dual site SOT−963 527AD
semiconductor device package and pin−out description.
This 1 mm x 0.8 mm package features short legs which
reduce the thermal path to an external heatsink/pcb. Also,
the low vertical clearance (< 0.5 mm) allows for an easy fit
in extremely thin environments. The efficient and compact
design of this package promotes increased thermal
dissipation and reduced electrical parasitics.

EVALUATION BOARD
The evaluation board, shown in Figure 3, measures 0.6 in
by 0.5 in. The board contains 1.0 oz copper thickness on
top−side and 1.0 oz copper thickness on the underside. Vias
are added through to the underside of the board where
contact is made with a copper pad area of approximately
0.198 square inch. On top−side, the copper pad areas
surrounding the two drain leads are each increased to
approximately 0.031 square inch for a total dissipation path
area of 0.229 square inch per drain.

This 6−pin DIP design allows the use of sockets which
facilitates wire interfacing. Figure 4 represents a SOT−963
527AA package mounted on the evaluation board with and
without test pins. A quick thermal analysis of this board is
conducted by inducing a saturation current of 829 mA. This
yields a junction temperature of 143.0°C and a board
temperature of 53.9°C. Figure 5 shows a thermal image of
this board under the aforementioned conditions.

included a thermal analysis of the package surface mounted
on a FR4 board using the minimum recommended pad size.

THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Foster network is used to calculate various thermal
characteristics. For example, as seen in Figure 8, a particular
thermal resistance occurs between the junction and C1/C2
node (denoted here as YJn−L). Then, the sum of all thermal
references between the C1/C2 node and the Cn−1/Cn node
is called a junction−to−foot thermal reference (YJn−Fn).
Therefore, in the case of Figure 8, the junction−to−ambient
thermal resistance (RqJnA) is measured as the sum of
thermal references such that;
Assumptions and Definitions
The subsequent sections outline the thermal performance
of a SOT−963 527AD. All values and equations are obtained
from simulations and pertain to the Theta(DC) matrix with
both MOSFETs operating at maximum power unless
otherwise specified. A 10% duty cycle is arbitrarily chosen
to evaluate various thermal responses. Refer to Figure 10 for
thermal responses at different duty cycles. The simulation
models used to derive the results in this section are modeled
around results obtained from physical testing and are
considered reliable. Table 1 defines a set of parameters used
throughout this section.

The number designation associated with “foot” in the

identification number as shown in Figure 6.
The Foster Network junction−to−foot thermal references
and foot−to−ambient thermal references under steady state
conditions at TA = 25°C are outlined in Table 2. The values
below are derived using J1 as an initial reference. It is
important to note that using J2 as an initial reference yields
different values for the psi terms in Table 2 but the thermal
resistance value does not change.

A relationship for the thermal resistance of each device is

FR−4 at 100 mm2 and RqJ1A = RqJ2A = 452.6°C/W for FR−4
at 500 mm2 min pad size. In both cases the thermal
resistances of each device are directly proportional to each
other due to symmetrical die sizes.

Using data from Table 3, this matrix allows various
junction temperatures and, in turn, the package R(u)EFF to
be calculated at assumed ambient temperatures. R(u)EFF is
defined as,
R (u)EFF + ƪT MAX * T A ƫ ń P TOTAL
(eq. 5)
Where R(u)EFF is a function of either direct current or a
transient response and TMAX is the maximum junction
temperature between TJ1 and TJ2. Table 3 outlines the
junction−to−ambient thermal analysis of this package, using
J1 as the initial reference. Notice that RqJ1A = RqJ2A and
YQ1Q2 = YQ2Q1 due to symmetrical die sizes. Furthermore,
Quick reference steady state matrices are located in the
Appendix.
Junction−to−Ambient
The thermal response of this package is parameterized by
thermal interactions between adjacent MOSFETS.
Switching one device OFF, such as Q1, alters the junction
temperature and thermal resistance of each FET. Heat from
Q2 will transfer to Q1 causing Q1 to exhibit an added
thermal resistance equivalent to a factor of YQ1Q2. The
