LT1118/LT1118-2.5/ LT1118-2.85/LT1118-5 OPERATION connected to the die substrate. Table 1 shows measured When the regulator is sinking load current, power dissipa- thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the LT1118 tion is nearly independent of VIN and can be calculated connected to various sized PC board ground planes. The as: power dissipated in the LT1118 varies with input voltage P and loading. When the regulator is sourcing current the D = VOUT • ILOAD power which must be dissipated by the package is: Heat sinking to the IC package must consider the worst case power dissipation which may occur. PD = (VIN – VOUT) • ILOAD Table 1.
