ΘJB
This is the thermal resistance from junction to board. It is dened by:
(4)
where TB is the temperature of the board adjacent to a lead measured with a thermocouple. The other parameters
on the right-hand side have been dened above. This is considered a true thermal resistance, and the measure-
ment is made with a water-cooled heat sink pressed against the board to draw most of the heat out of the leads.
Note that ΘJB is expressed in units of °C/W and that this parameter and the way it is measured are still being dis-
cussed by the JEDEC committee.
FPSC Maximum Junction Temperature
Once the power dissipated by the FPSC has been determined, the maximum junction temperature of the FPSC
can be found. This is needed to determine if speed derating of the device from the 85 °C junction temperature used
in all of the delay tables is needed. Using the maximum ambient temperature, TAmax, and the power dissipated by
the device, Q (expressed in °C), the maximum junction temperature is approximated by:

Heat Sink Vendors for BGA Packages
The estimated worst-case power requirements for the ORT82G5 are in the 4 W to 5 W range. Consequently, for
most applications an external heat sink will be required. The following table lists, in alphabetical order, heat sink
vendors who advertise heat sinks aimed at the BGA market.
