2-channel audio amplifier (2 x SE or 1 x BTL)
At VCC = 18 V and RL = 4 Ω (2 × SE) the measured worst-case sine-wave dissipation
is 8.4 W; see Figure 13. For Tj(max) = 150 °C the temperature raise, caused by the
power dissipation, is: 150 − 60 = 90 °C:
P × Rth(tot) = 90 °C
Rth(tot) = 90/8.4 = 10.7 K/W
Rth(h-a) = Rth(tot) − Rth(j-mb) = 10.7 − 2.0 = 8.7 K/W
This calculation is for an application at worst-case (stereo) sine-wave output signals.
In practice music signals will be applied, which decreases the maximum power
dissipation to approximately half of the sine-wave power dissipation (see
Section 8.2.2). This allows for the use of a smaller heatsink:
P × Rth(tot) = 90 °C
Rth(tot) = 90/4.2 = 21.4 K/W
Rth(h-a) = Rth(tot) − Rth(j-mb) = 21.4 − 2.0 = 19.4 K/W
