The temperature is monitored at the package back-side interface (Tcase) as shown below. The system maximum temperature must be adjusted in order to guarantee that Tcase remains below than the maximum value specified in the next table. So, the system PCB must be designed to comply with this requirement. A derating must be applied on the dissipated power if the Tcase temperature can not be maintained below than the maximum temperature specified in order to guarantee the nominal device life time (MTTF) (see the curve Pdiss. Max below). DEVICE THERMAL SPECIFICATION : CHR3861-QEG Recommended max. junction temperature (Tj max) : 164 Junction temperature absolute maximum rating : 175 Max. continuous dissipated power (Pdiss.
