Package Thermal Characteristics

FPGA Maximum Junction Temperature
Once the power dissipated by the FPGA has been determined (see the Estimating Power Dissipation section), the
maximum junction temperature of the FPGA can be found. This is needed to determine if speed derating of the
device from the 85 °C junction temperature used in all of the delay tables is needed. Using the maximum ambient
temperature, T
Amax
, and the power dissipated by the device, Q (expressed in °C), the maximum junction tempera-
ture is approximated by:
