IBM PowerPC 403GCX
Package Thermal Specifications
Operating Conditions
The 403GCX can interface to either 3V or 5V
technologies. The range for supply voltages is
specified for five-percent margins relative to a
nominal 3.3V power supply, or +/- 100mV at 3.4
Volt supply with 403GCX-3JC80A and 403GCX-
3BC80A.
The 403GCX is designed to operate within the
case temperature range from -40°C to 120°C.
Thermal resistance values are shown in Table 7:

these maximum ratings may cause permanent
damage to the device.

Power Considerations
Power dissipation is determined by operating fre-
quency, temperature, and supply voltage, as well
as external source/sink current requirements.
Typical power dissipation is 0.34 W at 25/50
MHz, 0.42 W at 33/66 MHz, or 0.51 W at 40/80
MHz, TmC = 55 °C, and VCC = 3.3 V, with an
average 50pF capacitive load. Typical power dis-
sipation is 0.54w for 403GCX-3JC80A and
403GCX-3BC80A. TmC = 55 °C, and VCC = 3.3
V, with an average 50pF capacitive load. Derat-
ing curves are provided in the section, "Output
Derating for Capacitance and Voltage," on page
33.
