Keep Out Zone Requirements

The keep out zone requirements on the PCB to use this heatsink are detailed in

Appendix B,

“Mechanical Drawings”

. Because it extends beyond the footprint of the device, it is critical for board

designers to allocate space for the heatsink.

6.4.2

Thermal Performance

The 1U reference heatsink employs a thick copper (C1100) base with aluminum (Al 1050) stamped

fins, soldered to the base. The heatsink has been tested at flow rates from 10 CFM to 25 CFM. For a

40 °C external ambient and 35 W TDP, the heatsink is expected to meet the thermal performance

needed when the air flow rate is greater than 10 CFM. If the external ambient is 55 °C, this heatsink

will be suitable if the air flow rate is approximately 12 CFM or greater.
