An estimation of the chip junction temperature, T
where:
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is an industry-standard value that provides a quick and easy estimation of thermal
performance. Unfortunately, there are two values in common usage: the value determined on a single-layer board and the value
obtained on a board with two planes. For packages such as the PBGA, these values can be different by a factor of two. Which
value is closer to the application depends on the power dissipated by other components on the board. The value obtained on a
single layer board is appropriate for the tightly packed printed circuit board. The value obtained on the board with the internal
planes is usually appropriate if the board has low-power dissipation and the components are well separated.
When a heat sink is used, the thermal resistance is expressed as the sum of a junction-to-case thermal resistance and a
case-to-ambient thermal resistance:

where:
The thermal characterization parameter is measured per JESD51–2 specification using a 40-gauge type T thermocouple epoxied
to the top center of the package case. The thermocouple should be positioned so that the thermocouple junction rests on the
package. A small amount of epoxy is placed over the thermocouple junction and over about 1 mm of wire extending from the
