Thermal Solution Characterization
The thermal characterization parameter, ("psi"), is used to characterize thermal solution performance, as well as compare thermal solutions in identical situations (i. e. , heating source, local ambient conditions, etc. ). Junction-to-Local Ambient Thermal Characterization Parameter (JA)
JA =
TJ - TA TDP
JA = Junction-to-local ambient thermal characterization parameter (°C/W) TJUNCTION MAX = Maximum allowed device temperature (°C) TA = Local ambient temperature near the device (°C) (see Section 7. 0, "Thermal Metrology" for measurement guidelines) TDP = Thermal Design Power (W) The thermal characterization parameter assumes that all package power dissipation is through the thermal solution (heatsink), and is equal to TDP. A small percentage of the die power (< 5%) is dissipated through the package/socket/motherboard stack to the environment, and should not be considered to be a means of thermal control. The junction-to-local ambient thermal characterization parameter, JA, is comprised of JS, which includes the thermal interface material thermal characterization parameter, and of SA, the sink-tolocal ambient thermal characterization parameter: Equation 2. Junction-to-Local Ambient Thermal Characterization Parameter
JA = JS + SA
Where: JS = Thermal characterization parameter from junction-to-sink, this also includes thermal resistance of the thermal interface material (TIM) (°C/W). SA = Thermal characterization parameter from sink-to-local ambient (°C/W) SA is a measure of the thermal characterization parameter from the bottom of the heatsink to the local ambient air. SA is dependent on the heatsink material, thermal conductivity, and geometry. It is also strongly dependent on the air velocity through the fins of the heatsink. Figure 5 illustrates the combination of the different thermal characterization parameters.

Calculating the Required Thermal Performance for the Intel® CoreTM2 Duo processor
Overall thermal performance, JA, is then defined using the thermal characterization parameter: · Define a target component temperature TJUNCTION and corresponding TDP. The following provides an illustration of how to determine the appropriate performance targets. Assume: · TDP = 35 W and TJUNCTION = 105 °C · Local processor ambient temperature, TA = 40 °C. Using Equation 1, the maximum allowable resistance, junction-to-ambient, is calculated as: Equation 3. Maximum Allowable Resistance
JA =
TJ - TA 105 - 40 = = 1. 857 o C / W TDP 35
To determine the required heatsink performance, a heatsink solution provider would need to determine CA performance for the selected TIM and mechanical load configuration. If the heatsink solution were designed to work with a TIM material performing at TIM 0. 50 °C/W, solving from Equation 2, the performance of the heatsink required is: Equation 4. Required Performance of the Heatsink
SA = JA - JS = 1. 86 - 0. 50 = 1. 36 o C / W

CoreTM 2 Duo Mobile Processors--Thermal Solution Requirements
It is evident from the above calculations that a reduction in the local ambient temperature can have a significant effect on the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requirement. This effect can contribute to a more reasonable thermal solution including reduced cost, heatsink size, heatsink weight, or a lower system airflow rate. Table 3 summarizes the thermal budget required to adequately cool the Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Mobile Processors on 45-nm process. Since the data is based on air data at sea level, a correction factor would be required to estimate the thermal performance at other altitudes. Required Heatsink Thermal Performance (JA)

Notes: 1. [. . . ] The thermocouples should be placed approximately 3 mm to 8 mm [0. 1 to 0. 3 in. ] above the fan hub vertically and halfway between the fan hub and the fan housing horizontally as shown in Figure 13 (avoiding the hub spokes). · Using an open bench to characterize an active heatsink can be useful, and usually ensures more uniform temperatures at the fan inlet. However, additional tests that include a solid barrier above the test motherboard surface can help evaluate the potential impact of the chassis. This barrier is typically clear Plexiglas*, extending at least 100 mm [4 in. ] in all directions beyond the edge of the thermal solution. [. . . ]
