The board designer can choose between several types of heat sinks to place on the 750. There are several
commercially-available heat sinks for the 750 provided by the following vendors:
Chip Coolers, Inc.
333 Strawberry Field Rd.
Warwick, RI 02887-6979
800-227-0254 (USA/Canada)
401-739-7600
Thermalloy

2021 W. Valley View Lane
P.O. Box 810839
Dallas, TX 75731
International Electronic Research Corporation (IERC) 818-842-7277
135 W. Magnolia Blvd.

Aavid Engineering
One Kool Path
Laconic, NH 03247-0440
603-528-3400
617-245-5900
Wakefield Engineering
60 Audubon Rd.
Wakefield, MA 01880
Ultimately, the final selection of an appropriate heat sink for the 750 depends on many factors, such as ther-
mal performance at a given air velocity, spatial volume, mass, attachment method, assembly, and cost.
Internal Package Conduction Resistance
For the exposed-die packaging technology, shown in Table “Package Thermal Characteristics1,” on page 8,
the intrinsic conduction thermal resistance paths are as follows.
• Die junction-to-case thermal resistance
• Die junction-to-ball thermal resistance
Figure 21 depicts the primary heat transfer path for a package with an attached heat sink mounted to a
printed-circuit board.
