TCP STANDARD TEST BOARD
CONFIGURATION
All Tape Carrier Package (TCP) thermal
measurements familiarity provided in the following
tables were taken with the component soldered to a
2" x 2" test board outline. This six-layer board
contains 225 vias in the die attach pad which are
connected to two 3 oz. copper planes located at
layers two and five. For the TCP, the vias in the die
attach pad should be connected without thermal
reliefs to the ground plane(s). The die is attached to
the die
NOTE
Thermal resistance values should be used
as guidelines only, and are highly system
dependent. Final system verification should
always refer to the case temperature
specification.
