5.8 Thermal Management Information
This section provides thermal management information for the FCPBGA package for air cooled applications.
Proper thermal control design is primarily dependent upon the system-level design; that is, the heat sink, air
flow, and the thermal interface material. To reduce the die-junction temperature, heat sinks may be attached
to the package by several methods: adhesive, mounting clip, or a screw assembly.

The board designer can choose between several types of heat sinks to place on the 750CL. There are many
commercially-available heat sinks that are appropriate for the 750CL provided by the vendors listed in Table
5-5, 750CL Heat-Sink Vendors, on page 57.
