Step 5: Compare Estimated Power Consumption
against Characterized Power Consumption
The estimated total power consumption for this design is
1.46 W. The characterized power consumption for this
design at 200 MHz is 1.0164 W.

Figure 1-11 shows the characterized power dissipation numbers for the shift register design using frequencies ranging
from 1 MHz to 200 MHz.
Junction Temperature (T
J
)
The temperature that you select in Designer Series
software is the junction temperature, not ambient
temperature. This is an important distinction because the
heat generated from dynamic power consumption is
usually hotter than the ambient temperature. Use the
equation below to calculate junction temperature.
Junction Temperature = ΔT + T

Package Thermal Characteristics
The device junction to case thermal characteristic is θ

,
and the junction to ambient air characteristic is θ
ja
. The
thermal characteristics for θ

are shown with two
different air flow rates.
The maximum junction temperature is 150 °C.
A sample calculation of the absolute maximum power
dissipation allowed for a TQFP 176-pin package at
commercial temperature and still air is as follows:
