Convert Watts to Temp 'C'
Convert Watts to Temp 'C'
(OP)
Hello,
How would I go about converting Watts (heat dissapation for a device) to a temp in celsius?
Thanks,
KENCO

Rt = thermal resistance in C/Watt and P = power dissipated.

Theta j-a includes conduction, convection, and radiation and can vary dramatically depending on nearby components, airflow, surface area, PCB copper, finish, etc, etc.
JEDEC has a standardized test that defines these variables -- very useful for comparing chip packages, but useless for predicting results in your system.
