Thermal Specifications
3 Thermal Specifications
3.1 Thermal Design Power (TDP)
Analysis indicates that real applications are unlikely to cause the MCH component to
consume maximum power dissipation for sustained time periods. Therefore, in order to
arrive at a more realistic power level for thermal design purposes, Intel characterizes
power consumption based on known platform benchmark applications. The resulting
power consumption is referred to as the Thermal Design Power (TDP). TDP is the target
power level that the thermal solutions should be designed to. TDP is not the maximum
power that the chipset can dissipate.
For TDP specifications, see Table 3-1 for Intel
®
3210 Chipset and Table 3-2 for Intel
®
3200. FC-BGA packages have poor heat transfer capability into the board and have
minimal thermal capability without a thermal solution. Intel recommends that system
designers plan for a heatsink when using the Intel
®
3210 and 3200 Chipset.
3.2 Thermal Specification
To ensure proper operation and reliability of the Intel
®
3210 and 3200 Chipset, the
case temperatures must be at or between the maximum/minimum operating
temperature ranges as specified in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2. System and/or component
level thermal solutions are required to maintain these temperature specifications. Refer
to Chapter 5 for guidelines on accurately measuring package die temperatures.
Notes:
1. The above specifications are based on post-si analysis.
2. The maximum idle power is the worst-case idle power with L1 ASPM state.
