Operation
The RT8479 VCC is supplied from the first stage Boost
output.
The first stage is a constant output voltage Boost topology
and senses the peak inductor current for over-current
protection with excellent Power Factor.
The second stage is a constant output current Buck
topology. The current sense voltage threshold between
the VCC and ISN pins is only 130mV to reduce power
loss.

Application Information
Thermal Considerations
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 1 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
Maximum Power Dissipation (W)1
3.6
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 29°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer
thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA
= 25°C can be calculated by the following formula :
