Enhanced Am486DX Microprocessor Family
P R E L I M I N A R Y
12
The Enhanced Am486DX microprocessors are speci-
fied for operation when T
CASE
(the case temperature) is
within the range of 0
°
C to +85
°
C. T
CASE
can be measured
in any environment to determine whether the Enhanced
Am486DX microprocessors are within specified operat-
ing range. The case temperature should be measured
at the center of the top surface opposite the pins.
PACKAGE THERMAL SPECIFICATIONS
The ambient temperature (T
A
) is guaranteed as long as
T
CASE
is not violated. The ambient temperature can be
calculated from
θ
JC
and
θ
JA
and from these equations:
T

= T

P
The values for
θ
JA
and
θ
JC
are given in Table 23 for the
1.75 sq. in., 168-pin, ceramic PGA. For the 208-pin
SQFP plastic package,
θ
JA
= 14.0 and
θ
JC
= 1.5.
Table 24 and Table 25 show the T
A
allowable (without
exceeding T
CASE
of 85
°
C and 100
°
C, respectively) at
various airflows and operating frequencies (Clock). Note
that T
A
is greatly improved by attaching fins or a heat
sink to the package. P (the maximum power consump-
tion) is calculated by using the maximum I
CC
at 3.3 V as
tabulated in the DC Characteristics
