Attention for heat generation
The maximum ambient temperature of type M51996A is
+85°C,however,the ambient temperature in vicinity of the IC is
not uniform and varies place by place,as the amount of power
dissipation is fearfully large and the power dissipation is
generated locally in the switching regulator.
So it is one of the good idea to check the IC package
temperature.
The temperature difference between IC junction and the surface
of IC package is 15°C or less,when the IC junction temperature is
measured by temperature dependency of forward voltage of pin
junction,and IC package temperature is measured by "thermo-
viewer",and also the IC is mounted on the "phenol-base" PC
board in normal atmosphere.
So it is concluded that the maximum case temperature(surface
temperature of IC) rating is 120°C with adequate margin.
