Junction Temperature Estimation
Finally, the ZXLD1370 junction temperature can be estimated using the following equations:
Total supply current of ZXLD1370:
I
QTOT
≈ I
Q
+ f • Q
G
Where I
Q
= total quiescent current I
Q-IN
+ I
Q-AUX

Or in case of separate voltage supply, with V

Where the total quiescent current IQ
TOT
consists of the static supply current (IQ) and the current required to charge and discharge the gate of the
power MOSFET. Moreover the part of thermal resistance between case and ambient depends on the PCB characteristics.
