General Description
This N-Channel MOSFET has been designed specifically to
improve the overall efficiency of DC/DC converters using
either synchronous or conventional switching PWM
controllers. It has been optimized for low gate charge, low

In using surface mount devices such as the SO8 package,

1. Mounting pad area onto which the device is attached and
whether there is copper on one side or both sides of the
board.
2. The number of copper layers and the thickness of the
board.
3. The use of external heat sinks.
4. The use of thermal vias.
5. Air flow and board orientation.
6. For non steady state applications, the pulse width, the
duty cycle and the transient thermal response of the part,
the board and the environment they are in.
Fairchild provides thermal information to assist the designer’s preliminary application evaluation. Figure 21 defines the

board with 1oz copper after 1000 seconds of steady state
power with no air flow. This graph provides the necessary in
formation for calculation of the steady state junction temperature or power dissipation. Pulse applications can be
evaluated using the Fairchild device Spice thermal model or
manually utilizing the normalized

copper pad area on single pulse transient thermal imped
ance. Each trace represents a copper pad area in square
inches corresponding to the descending list in the graph.
Spice and SABER thermal models are provided for each of
the listed pad areas.
Copper pad area has no perceivable effect on transient
thermal impedance for pulse widths less than 100ms. For
pulse widths less than 100ms the transient thermal
impedance is determined by the die and package.
Therefore, CTHERM1 through CTHERM5 and RTHERM1
through RTHERM5 remain constant for each of the thermal
models. A listing of the model component values is available
in Table 1.
