Thermal Specifications Parameter Rating Operating Case Temperature Thermal Resistance (1), Rth Junction Temperature (2), Tjc -40 to +85° C 20.6° C / W 129° C 1. The thermal resistance is referenced from the hottest part of the junction to the ground paddle underneath the device. 2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of +4.5V, 75mA on pin 1 and 9V, 200 mA on pins 6, 7 at an 85° C case temperature.

Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135”) diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”). Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. To ensure reliable operation, device ground paddle-toground pad solder joint is critical. Add mounting screws near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region contacts the heatsink. For optimal thermal performance, expose soldermask on backside where it contacts the heatsink. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees. A heatsink underneath the area of the PCB for the mounted device is strictly required for proper thermal operation. Damage to the device can occur without the use of one.
