Rth(JC): thermal resistance from the device junction to the device case. It is the thermal

resistance when the package is mounted on the infinite heatsink

Rth(CH): the contact thermal resistance between the device case and the heatsink

Rth(HA): thermal resistance from the heatsink to ambient

Figure 12. Thermal resistance scheme

The thermal resistance stated in datasheet refers to the above mentioned RTH(J-C) and to

the overall RTH(J-A).

Maximum transient thermal impedance (ZthJC)

Transient thermal impedance takes into account the heat capacity of the device to estimate

temperatures resulting from power loss on transient base.
