SO-8 Mounting and Thermal Considerations  
by Wharton McDaniel  
PowerPAK SO-8 SINGLE MOUNTING  
MOSFETs for switching applications are now available with  
die on resistances around 1 m
and with the capability to  
handle 85 A. While these die capabilities represent a major  
advance over what was available just a few years ago, it is  
important for power MOSFET packaging technology to keep  
pace. It should be obvious that degradation of a high  
performance die by the package is undesirable. PowerPAK  
is a new package technology that addresses these issues.  
In this application note, PowerPAK’s construction is  
described. Following this mounting information is presented  
including land patterns and soldering profiles for maximum  
reliability. Finally, thermal and electrical performance is  
discussed.  
The PowerPAK single is simple to use. The pin arrangement  
(drain, source, gate pins) and the pin dimensions are the  
same as standard SO-8 devices (see figure 2). Therefore, the  
PowerPAK connection pads match directly to those of the  
SO-8. The only difference is the extended drain connection  
area. To take immediate advantage of the PowerPAK SO-8  
single devices, they can be mounted to existing SO-8 land  
patterns.  
THE PowerPAK PACKAGE  
The PowerPAK package was developed around the SO-8  
package (figure 1). The PowerPAK SO-8 utilizes the same  
footprint and the same pin-outs as the standard SO-8. This  
allows PowerPAK to be substituted directly for a standard  
SO-8 package. Being a leadless package, PowerPAK SO-8  
utilizes the entire SO-8 footprint, freeing space normally  
occupied by the leads, and thus allowing it to hold a larger  
die than a standard SO-8. In fact, this larger die is slightly  
larger than a full sized DPAK die. The bottom of the die  
attach pad is exposed for the purpose of providing a direct,  
low resistance thermal path to the substrate the device is  
mounted on. Finally, the package height is lower than the  
standard SO-8, making it an excellent choice for  
applications with space constraints.

In this figure, the drain land pattern is given to make full  
contact to the drain pad on the PowerPAK package.  
This land pattern can be extended to the left, right, and top  
of the drawn pattern. This extension will serve to increase  
the heat dissipation by decreasing the thermal resistance  
from the foot of the PowerPAK to the PC board and  
therefore to the ambient. Note that increasing the drain land  
area beyond a certain point will yield little decrease  
in foot-to-board and foot-to-ambient thermal resistance.  
Under specific conditions of board configuration, copper  
weight and layer stack, experiments have found that  
more than about 0.25 in

of additional copper  
(in addition to the drain land) will yield little improvement in  
thermal performance.

PowerPAK SO-8 DUAL  
The pin arrangement (drain, source, gate pins) and the pin  
dimensions of the PowerPAK SO-8 dual are the same as  
standard SO-8 dual devices. Therefore, the PowerPAK  
device connection pads match directly to those of the SO-8.  
As in the single-channel package, the only exception is the  
extended drain connection area. Manufacturers can likewise  
take immediate advantage of the PowerPAK SO-8 dual  
devices by mounting them to existing SO-8 dual land  
patterns.

SO-8 Mounting and Thermal Considerations  
THERMAL PERFORMANCE  
Introduction  
Because of the presence of the trough, this result suggests  
a minimum performance improvement of 10 °C/W by using  
a PowerPAK SO-8 in a standard SO-8 PC board mount.  
A basic measure of a device’s thermal performance  
is the junction-to-case thermal resistance, R

thJC

, or the  
junction-to-foot thermal resistance, R

thJF

This parameter is  
measured for the device mounted to an infinite heat sink and  
is therefore a characterization of the device only, in other  
words, independent of the properties of the object to which  
the device is mounted. Table 1 shows a comparison of  
the DPAK, PowerPAK SO-8, and standard SO-8. The  
PowerPAK has thermal performance equivalent to the  
DPAK, while having an order of magnitude better thermal  
performance over the SO-8.  
The only concern when mounting a PowerPAK on a  
standard SO-8 pad pattern is that there should be no traces  
running between the body of the MOSFET. Where the  
standard SO-8 body is spaced away from the pc board,  
allowing traces to run underneath, the PowerPAK sits  
directly on the pc board.  
Thermal Performance – Spreading Copper  
Designers may add additional copper, spreading copper, to  
the drain pad to aid in conducting heat from a device. It is  
helpful to have some information about the thermal  
performance for a given area of spreading copper.  
TABLE 1 – DPAK AND POWERPAK SO-8  
EQUIVALENT STEADY STATE  
PERFORMANCE  
Figure 6 shows the thermal resistance of a PowerPAK SO-8  
device mounted on a 2-in. 2-in., four-layer FR-4 PC board.  
The two internal layers and the backside layer are solid  
copper. The internal layers were chosen as solid copper to  
model the large power and ground planes common in many  
applications. The top layer was cut back to a smaller area  
and at each step junction-to-ambient thermal resistance  
measurements were taken. The results indicate that an area  
above 0.3 to 0.4 square inches of spreading copper gives no

Thermal Performance on Standard SO-8 Pad Pattern  
Because of the common footprint, a PowerPAK SO-8  
can be mounted on an existing standard SO-8 pad pattern.  
The question then arises as to the thermal performance  
of the PowerPAK device under these conditions. A  
characterization was made comparing a standard SO-8 and  
a PowerPAK device on a board with a trough cut out  
underneath the PowerPAK drain pad. This configuration  
restricted the heat flow to the SO-8 land pads. The results

SO-8 Mounting and Thermal Considerations  
Suppose each device is dissipating 2.7 W. Using the  
SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL IMPACT OF  
PowerPAK SO-8  
junction-to-foot thermal resistance characteristics of the  
PowerPAK SO-8 and the standard SO-8, the die  
temperature is determined to be 107 °C for the PowerPAK  
(and for DPAK) and 148 °C for the standard SO-8. This is a  
2 °C rise above the board temperature for the PowerPAK  
and a 43 °C rise for the standard SO-8. Referring to figure 7,  
a 2 °C difference has minimal effect on R

DS(on)

whereas a

Minimizing the thermal rise above the board temperature by  
using PowerPAK has not only eased the thermal design but  
it has allowed the device to run cooler, keep r

low, and  
permits the device to handle more current than the same  
MOSFET die in the standard SO-8 package.  
CONCLUSIONS  
PowerPAK SO-8 has been shown to have the same thermal  
performance as the DPAK package while having the same  
footprint as the standard SO-8 package. The PowerPAK  
SO-8 can hold larger die approximately equal in size to the  
maximum that the DPAK can accommodate implying no  
sacrifice in performance because of package limitations.

vs. Temperature  
A MOSFET generates internal heat due to the current  
passing through the channel. This self-heating raises the  
junction temperature of the device above that of the PC  
board to which it is mounted, causing increased power  
dissipation in the device. A major source of this problem lies  
in the large values of the junction-to-foot thermal resistance  
of the SO-8 package.  
Thermal considerations have indicated that significant  
advantages can be gained by using PowerPAK SO-8  
devices in designs where the PC board was laid out for  
the standard SO-8. Applications experimental data gave  
thermal performance data showing minimum and  
typical thermal performance in a SO-8 environment, plus  
information on the optimum thermal performance  
obtainable including spreading copper. This further  
emphasized the DPAK equivalency.  
PowerPAK SO-8 minimizes the junction-to-board thermal  
resistance to where the MOSFET die temperature is very  
close to the temperature of the PC board. Consider two  
devices mounted on a PC board heated to 105 °C by other  
components on the board (figure 8).  
PowerPAK SO-8 therefore has the desired small size  
characteristics of the SO-8 combined with the attractive  
thermal characteristics of the DPAK package.
