In a question I posted on 4/21/2021 (Thermal resistance values for CY7C) it was stated " As per our packaging team we have simulated Theta JB which is 13.45 C/W using an 8-Layer (101.5 x 114.4 x 1.6mm) PCB."

However, this value is greater than the  data sheet Theta JA (12.23 °C/W) which does not make too much sense. For a typical FBGA package without an exposed heat sink or heat spreader, majority of the heat is removed from the base of the package. 

Can you provide some insite on this?

Hi,

I think there was a typo from our side in the previous post. Please refer to the below values that we have with us both from simulation and measurements. A device soldered on the PCB should observe a lower Theta JB value. We believe the PCB in the data below plays a bigger role in the lower value than the socket.

Type

Simulation

Measurement

Board Mount

Soldered

Socketed

test Condition

102x114x1.6mm, 8-layer PCB

170x220×2.35mm, 8-layer PCB

Theta JA

16.11⁰C/W

12.23⁰C/W

Theta JB

11.72⁰C/W

9.34⁰C/W

Theta JC

2.1⁰C/W

2.1⁰C/W

 

Thanks,

Pradipta.
