THERMAL INFORMATION

power dissipation precautions

Significant power may be dissipated in the SN75374 driver when charging and discharging high-capacitance

loads over a wide voltage range at high frequencies. Figure 12 shows the power dissipated in a typical SN75374

as a function of frequency and load capacitance. Average power dissipated by this driver is derived from the

equation

PT(AV) = PDC(AV) + PC(AV) + PS(AV)

where PDC(AV) is the steady-state power dissipation with the output high or low, PC(AV) is the power level during

charging or discharging of the load capacitance, and PS(AV) is the power dissipation during switching between

the low and high levels. None of these include energy transferred to the load and all are averaged over a full

cycle.
