Package Thermal Characteristics

The power dissipated by an FPGA application has implications on package selection and system design. The power consumed by a Spartan-3A DSP FPGA is reported using either the XPower Power Estimator or the XPower Analyzer calculator integrated in the Xilinx ISE™ development software. Table 59 provides the thermal characteristics for the various Spartan-3A DSP device package offerings. This information is also available using the Thermal Query tool at http://www.xilinx.com/cgi-bin/thermal/thermal.pl.

The junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) indicates the difference between the temperature measured on the package body (case) and the die junction temperature per watt of power consumption. The junction-to-board (θJB) value similarly reports the difference between the board and junction temperature. The junction-to-ambient (θJA) value reports the temperature difference between the ambient environment and the junction temperature. The θJA value is reported at different air velocities, measured in linear feet per minute (LFM). The “Still Air (0 LFM)” column shows the θJA value in a system without a fan. The thermal resistance drops with increasing air flow.
