Package thermal characteristics

Using a double-layer PCB the thermal resistance junction to ambient with 2 copper ground

areas of 3 x 3 cm2 and with 16 via holes (see Figure 11) is 24 °C/W in natural air convection.

The dissipated power within the device depends primarily on the supply voltage, load

impedance and output modulation level.

Thus, the maximum estimated dissipated power for the STA335W is:
