Hi all
I am trying to find out the max power dissipation of this voltage regulator
http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/nationalsemiconductor/DS007744.PDF
on page 7 it says
Typical thermal resistance values for the packages are:
Z Package: Rth(J-C) e 60 §C/W, Rth(J-A) e 230 §C/W
Does anyone know what it means?
and is the actual Power dissipating on the regulator equal to (Vin - Vout)*I?
