Thermal Derating
Thermal derating is presented for two different applications:
1) Figure 19, the JRCK017S32R0 module is thermally coupled
to a cold plate inside a sealed clamshell chassis, without any
internal air circulation; and 2) Figure 20, 21 and 22, the
JRCK017S32R0 module is mounted in a traditional open
chassis or cards with forced air flow. In application 1, the
module is cooled entirely by conduction of heat from the
module primarily through the top surface to a cold plate, with
some conduction through the module’s pins to the power
layers in the system board. For application 2, the module is
cooled by heat removal into a forced airflow that passes
through the interior of the module and over the top base plate
and/or attached heatsink.
