6.5 Reliability Guidelines
The environmental reliability requirements for the reference thermal solution are
shown in Table 6-2. These should be considered as general guidelines. Each
motherboard, heatsink and attach combination may vary the mechanical loading of the
component. Based on the end-user environment, the user should define the
appropriate reliability test criteria and carefully evaluate the completed assembly prior
to use in high volume.
The testing will be performed with the sample board mounted on a test fixture. The test
profiles are unpacked board level.
