Thermal Management

This chapter describes the 21264/EV67 thermal management and thermal design
considerations, and is organized as follows:

Operating temperature

Heat sink specifications

Thermal design considerations

10.1 Operating Temperature

The 21264/EV67 is specified to operate when the temperature at the center of the heat
sink (T

c)

is as shown in Table 10–1. Temperature T

c

should be measured at the center of

the heat sink, between the two package studs. The GRAFOIL pad is the interface mate-
rial between the package and the heat sink.

Note:

Compaq recommends using the heat sink because it greatly improves the
ambient temperature requirement.
