Figure 16.  Localized High Temperature Zones 
Table 31 provides maximum case temperatures for the components that are sensitive 
to thermal changes.  The operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency 
could affect case temperatures.  Maximum case temperatures are important when 
considering proper airflow to cool the board.
