1.3 Definition of Terms
Term Description
T
A
The measured ambient temperature locally surrounding the processor. The
ambient temperature should be measured just upstream of a passive heatsink or
at the fan inlet for an active heatsink.
T
J
Processor junction temperature.
T
S-TOP
Heatsink temperature measured at vicinity to center on the top surface of
heatsink base.
Ψ
JA
Junction-to-ambient thermal characterization parameter (psi). A measure of
thermal solution performance using total package power. Defined as
(T
J
– T
A
) / Total Package Power.
Note: Heat source must be specified for Ψ measurements.
Ψ
JS
Junction-to-sink thermal characterization parameter. A measure of thermal
interface material performance using total package power. Defined as
(T
J
– T
S
) / Total Package Power.
Note: Heat source must be specified for Ψ measurements.
Ψ
SA
Sink-to-ambient thermal characterization parameter. A measure of heatsink
thermal performance using total package power. Defined as
