environment to affect the case-to-ambient thermal resistance, R
can change the air flow around the device, add a heat sink, change the mounting
arrangement on the printed circuit board, or change the thermal dissipation on the printed
circuit board surrounding the device. This thermal model is most useful for ceramic
packages with heat sinks where some 90% of the heat flows through the case and the heat
sink to the ambient environment. For most packages, a better model is required.
7.3
A simple package thermal model which has demonstrated reasonable accuracy (about 20%)
is a two resistor model consisting of a junction-to-board and a junction-to-case thermal
resistance. The junction-to-case covers the situation where a heat sink is used or where a
substantial amount of heat is dissipated from the top of the package. The junction-to-board
thermal resistance describes the thermal performance when most of the heat is conducted
to the printed circuit board. It has been observed that the thermal performance of most
plastic packages and especially PBGA packages is strongly dependent on the board
temperature; see Figure 7-1.
