Thermal management is an important element of electronic product
design. In any system environment, it is important not to exceed the
maximum recommended semiconductor junction temperature. The
maximum recommended junction temperature for the LSIFC929 is
115 ˚C.
To that end, LSI Logic recommends that the customer use an appropriate
heat sink for the LSIFC929, and that adequate airflow exists throughout
the system.
Allowing for a maximum dynamic power consumption of 4 W, Table 6.15
below shows some examples of the maximum allowable junction
temperature to maintain less than a 70 ˚C ambient for the given airflow
and heat sink conditions.
