LT1167
Production
The LT1167 is a low power, precision instrumentation amplifier that requires only one external resistor to set gains of 1 to 10,000. The low voltage noise...

Can you provide the thermal resistance values for LT1167 Thermal Data (8-Lead SOIC)?
I was able to locate the junction to ambient in the datasheet, but not the other values.

Hi crdufour ,
Good day. These are the only data that we had for LT1167: Theta-JB = 236.84 C/W, Theta-JC(top) = 44.02C/W. For the other parameters, I could request thermal simulation data, but this would take some time. I'll update you once this is available. Thank you.

I am surprised by how high that thetaJB value is. It is not common for a thetaJB value to exceed the thetaJA value for any package type, regardless of whether or not it should be top/bottom cooled.
Since the datasheet was from linear tech (which I understand was acquired by analog), I took a peek at this old linear tech pdf of estiamted thetaJA/JC values for various package types. A section of that is copied as an image below. A thetaJB of 236.84 C/W exceeds the approximate thetaJA values from this old reference file too.
