THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS
TQFP Package
The variable P is power in watts. Typical power supply
current (ICC) is TBD mA per MHz of clock frequency.
The Am186ES and Am188ES microcontrollers are
specified for operation with case temperature ranges
from 0°C to +100°C for a commercial device. Case
temperature is measured at the top center of the
package as shown in Figure 13. The various
temperatures and thermal resistances can be
determined using the equations in Figure 14 with
information given in Table 10.

θJC
θJA is the total thermal resistance. θJA is the sum of θJC
the internal thermal resistance of the assembly, and
,
θJA = θJC + θCA
θCA, the case to ambient thermal resistance.
