DESIGN GUIDELINES
When considering thermal dissipation, one of the
most important parts of the layout is the
connection between the ground balls and the
ground layer.
Considering only the central matrix of 36 thermal
balls and one via for each ball, the global thermal
resistance is 2.9°C/W. This can be easily
improved using four 12.5 mil wires to connect to
The use of a ground plane like in
even better.

is
A 1-wire connection is shown in
use of a 8-mil wire results in a thermal resistance
of 105°C/W assuming copper is used (418 W/
m.°K). This high value is due to the thickness (34
µm) of the copper on the external side of the PCB.
