Thermal/Mechanical Reference Design
temperature are known for a specific thermal solution, the Thermal Profile of that
solution can easily be plotted against the Thermal Profile specification. As explained
above, the case-to-ambient resistance represents the slope of the line and the
processor local ambient temperature represents the y-axis intercept. Hence the T
values of a specific solution can be calculated at the TDP and P
levels. Once these points are determined, they can be joined by a line, which
represents the Thermal Profile of the specific solution. If that line stays at or below the
Thermal Profile specification, then that particular solution is deemed as a compliant
solution.
