P
I/O

For most applications, P
I/O
 << P

 and can be neglected. An approximate relationship between P
D
 and T
J
(if P
I/O
 is neglected) is:
P
D
 = K ÷ (T
J
 + 273°C) Eqn. A-2
Solving Equation A-1 and Equation A-2 for K gives:
K = P
D
 × (T

 + 273°C) + θ
JA
 × (P

Eqn. A-3
where K is a constant pertaining to the particular part. K can be determined from equation 3 by measuring 
P
D
 (at equilibrium) for a known T
A
. Using this value of K, the values of P
D
 and T
J
 can be obtained by 
solving Equation A-1 and Equation A-2 iteratively for any value of T
A
