Thermal Management
This chapter describes the 21264/EV67 thermal management and thermal design
considerations, and is organized as follows:
•
Operating temperature
•
Heat sink specifications
•
Thermal design considerations
10.1 Operating Temperature
The 21264/EV67 is specified to operate when the temperature at the center of the heat
sink (T
c)
is as shown in Table 10–1. Temperature T
c
should be measured at the center of
the heat sink, between the two package studs. The GRAFOIL pad is the interface mate-
rial between the package and the heat sink.
Note:
Compaq recommends using the heat sink because it greatly improves the
ambient temperature requirement.
