Thermal data for the DRB package is derived by thermal simulations based on JEDEC-standard methodology as specified in the

JESD51 series. The following assumptions are used in the simulations:

(a) The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 2x2 thermal via array.

(b) The top and bottom copper layers are assumed to have a 20% thermal conductivity of copper representing a 20% copper coverage.

(c) These data were generated with only a single device at the center of a JEDEC high-K (2s2p) board with 3in

× 3in copper area. To

understand the effects of the copper area on thermal performance, see the Power Dissipation and Estimating Junction Temperature

sections of this data sheet.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as

specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.

(4)

The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the top of the package. No specific

JEDEC-standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

(5)

The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB

temperature, as described in JESD51-8.

(8)

The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific

JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
