Thermal Management

This section provides thermal management information for the plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package for

air-cooled applications. Depending on the application environment and the operating frequency, a heat

sink may be required to maintain junction temperature within specifications. Proper thermal control design

primarily depends on the system-level design: heat sink, airflow, and thermal interface material. To reduce

the die-junction temperature, heat sinks can be attached to the package by several methods: adhesive,

spring clip to holes in the printed-circuit board or package, or mounting clip and screw assembly (see

Figure 28).

Figure 29 depicts the die junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for four typical cases:

•

A heat sink is not attached to the PBGA package and a high board-level thermal loading from

adjacent components exists (label used—1s).

•

A heat sink is not attached to the PBGA package and a low board-level thermal loading from

adjacent components exists (label used—2s2p).

•

A large heat sink (cross cut extrusion, 38

× 38 × 16.5 mm) is attached to the PBGA package and a

high board-level thermal loading from adjacent components exists (label used—1s/sink).

•

A large heat sink (cross cut extrusion, 38

× 38 × 16.5 mm) is attached to the PBGA package and a

low board-level thermal loading from adjacent components exists (label used—2s2p/sink).
