AN241, Thermal Considerations

Philips Semiconductors Advanced BiCMOS Products Application note Thermal considerations for advanced logic families (Futurebus+, ABT and MULTIBYTE) AN241 INTRODUCTION Thermal characteristics of integrated circuit packages have been and increasingly will be a major consideration to both producers and users of electronics products.

This is because an increase in junction temperature (TJ) can adversely effect the long term operating life of an IC.

The advantages realized by miniaturization ofte
