Power Consumption of the MPC9443
and Thermal Management
The MPC9443 AC specification is guaranteed for the entire
operating frequency range up to 350 MHz. The MPC9443 power
consumption and the associated long-term reliability may
decrease the maximum frequency limit, depending on operating
conditions such as clock frequency, supply voltage, output
loading, ambient temperature, vertical convection and thermal
conductivity of package and board. This section describes the
impact of these parameters on the junction temperature and gives
a guideline to estimate the MPC9443 die junction temperature
and the associated device reliability. For a complete analysis of
power consumption as a function of operating conditions and
associated long term device reliability, please refer to the
Freescale application note AN1545. According the AN1545, the
long-term device reliability is a function of the die junction
temperature.
Increased power consumption will increase the die junction
temperature and impact the device reliability (MTBF). According
to the system-defined tolerable MTBF, the die junction
temperature of the MPC9443 needs to be controlled, and the
thermal impedance of the board/package should be optimized.
The power dissipated in the MPC9443 is represented in Equation
1.
Where I
CCQ
is the static current consumption of the MPC9443,
C
PD
is the power dissipation capacitance per output. C
L
represents the external capacitive output load, and N is the
number of active outputs (N is always 16 in case of the
MPC9443). The MPC9443 supports driving transmission lines to
maintain high signal integrity and tight timing parameters. Any
transmission line will hide the lumped capacitive load at the end of
the board trace; therefore,
C
L
is zero for controlled transmission
line systems and can be eliminated from Equation 1. Using
parallel termination output termination results in Equation 2 for
power dissipation.
In Equation 2, P stands for the number of outputs with a parallel
or thevenin termination. V
OL
, I
OL
, V
OH
and I
OH
are a function of
the output termination technique, and DC
Q
is the clock signal duty
cycle. If transmission lines are used,
C
L
is zero in Equation 2
and can be eliminated. In general, the use of controlled
transmission line techniques eliminates the impact of the lumped
capacitive loads at the end lines and greatly reduces the power
dissipation of the device. Equation 3 describes the die junction
temperature (T
J)
as a function of the power consumption.
Where R
thja
is the thermal impedance of the package (junction
to ambient), and T
A
is the ambient temperature. According to
Table 13, the junction temperature can be used to estimate the
long-term device reliability. Further, combining Equation 1 and
Equation 2 results in a maximum operating frequency for the
MPC9443 in a series terminated transmission line system.
T
J,MAX
should be selected according to the MTBF system
requirements and Table 13. R
thja
can be derived from
Table 14. The R
thja
represent data based on 1S2P boards. Using
2S2P boards will result in a lower thermal impedance than
indicated below.
If the calculated maximum frequency is below 250 MHz, it
becomes the upper clock speed limit for the given application
conditions. The following eight derating charts describe the safe
frequency operation range for the MPC9443. The charts were
calculated for a maximum tolerable die junction temperature of
110C (120C), corresponding to an estimated MTBF of 9.1 years
(4 years), a supply voltage of 3.3 V and series terminated
transmission line or capacitive loading. Depending on a given set
of these operating conditions and the available device convection
a decision on the maximum operating frequency can be made.
