IDT RC5000
COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
4
The RC5000 utilizes an all-aluminum package with
the die attached to a normal copper lead frame mounted
to the aluminum casing. Due to the heat-spreading effect
of the aluminum, the package allows for an efficient
thermal transfer between the die and the case. The
aluminum offers less internal resistance from one end of
the package to the other, reducing the temperature
gradient across the package and therefore presenting a
greater area for convection and conduction to the PCB for
a given temperature. Even nominal amounts of airflow will
dramatically reduce the junction temperature of the die,
resulting in cooler operation.
The RC5000 is guaranteed in a case temperature
range of 0
°
to +85
°
C. The type of package, speed
(power) of the device, and airflow conditions affect the
equivalent ambient temperature conditions that will meet
this specification.
A
,
can be calculated using the thermal resistance from case
to ambient (
CA
) of the given package. The following
equation relates ambient and case temperatures:
T
A
= T
C
- P *
CA
where P is the maximum power consumption at hot
temperature, calculated by using the maximum I
CC
speci-
fication for the device. Typical values for
CA
at various
airflows are shown in Table 1.

CA) at Various Airflows
Note:
The RC5000 implements advanced power
management to substantially reduce the average power
dissipation of the device. This operation is described in
the IDT79RV5000 RISC Microprocessor Reference
Manual.
