Introduction—Core™ 2 Duo Mobile Processors 1.0 Introduction The power dissipation of electronic components has risen along with the increase in complexity of computer systems. To ensure quality, reliability, and performance goals are met over the product’s life cycle, the heat generated by the device must be properly dissipated. Typical methods to improve heat dissipation include selective use of airflow ducting, and/or the use of heatsinks. The goals of this document are to: • Identify the t

Thermal Specifications—Core™ 2 Duo Mobile Processors 3.0 Thermal Specifications 3.1 Thermal Design Power The Thermal Design Power (TDP) specification is listed in Table 2. Heat transfer through the micro- FCBGA, micro-FCPGA package and socket via the base board is negligible. The cooling capacity without a thermal solution is also minimal, so Intel requires the use of a heatsink for all usage conditions. 3.2 Maximum Allowed Component Temperature The device must maintain a maximum temperature a

Core™ 2 Duo Mobile Processors—Mechanical Specifications 4.0 Mechanical Specifications 4.1 Package Mechanical Requirements 4.1.1 Die Pressure/Load Upper Limit From a die mechanical integrity standpoint, the maximum allowable normal die load is the lesser of 2 2 15 lbs or 100 psi. Considering the 15 lbs load limit and the nominal die area of 1.45 cm (0.22 in. ), this equates to a die pressure of 66.7 psi (below 100 psi specification). Considering the maximum pressure specification, the die load

Core™ 2 Duo Mobile Processors—Thermal Solution Requirements It is evident from the above calculations that a reduction in the local ambient temperature can have a significant effect on the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance requirement. This effect can contribute to a more reasonable thermal solution including reduced cost, heatsink size, heatsink weight, or a lower system airflow rate. Table 3 summarizes the thermal budget required to adequately cool the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Mobile Proces
