APPLICATION NOTE
Rth, τ, B depend on the package. Their values, VRM > VCC = 30V and VCL max < 55V with a

printed circuit board, are grouped together in the
following table. Try to use a 1.5KE36 P
The data sheet gives :
VRM = 30.8V ( >30V )
VBR max = 39.6V
VBR nom = 36V
αT = 9.9 x 10-4 /°C
In this case, the following formula is used : VCL max = VBR max (1+αT (Tamb max -25))
+ rd max Ipp = 50.2V
VCL max = 50.2V < 55V

αT − tp PP = VCL max x Ipp = 148.8W

So a 1.5KE36P can be used in this application.
