<strong>Geode</strong> <strong>GXLV</strong> <strong>Processor</strong> <strong>Series</strong>Package Specifications (Continued)Example 1Assume P (max) = 5W and T A (max) = 40°C.Therefore:T C– T Aθ CA= ---------------------P( 85 – 40)θ CA= ----------------------5θ = 9 CAExample 2Assume P (max) = 10W and T A (max) = 40°C.Therefore:T C– T Aθ CA= ---------------------P( 85 – 40)θ CA= ----------------------9θ = 5 CAIn this case, the heatsink under consideration is more thanadequate since at 5W worst case, it can maintain a 40°Ccase temperature rise above ambient (θ CA =9)whenamaximum of 45°C (θ CA = 8) is required.In this case, the heatsink under consideration is NOT adequateto maintain the 45°C case temperature rise aboveambient for a 9W processor.For more information on thermal design considerations orheatsink properties, refer to the Product Selection Guide ofany leading vendor of thermal engineering solutions.www.national.com 242 Revision 1.3
