2.3.4
Thermally Significant Components
The following table summarizes components that exhibit significant temperature rises.
These are the components that should be monitored in order to assess thermal
performance. The table also supplies the component reference designator and the
maximum allowable operating temperature.
You can find components on the board by their reference designators as shown in
2-1
and
Figure
of these components.
The preferred measurement location for a component may be junction, case, or ambient as
specified in the table below. Junction temperature refers to the temperature measured by
an on-chip thermal device. Case temperature refers to the temperature at the top, center
surface of the component. Air temperature refers to the ambient temperature near the
component.
