Figure 18. Localized High Temperature Zones
Table 35 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.
