JEDEC Introduction

JEDEC was founded in 1960 and stands for the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council. JEDEC is the standardization body of the Electronic Industries Alliance, which helps develop standards on electronic components, consumer electronics, electronic information, telecommunications, and internet security. JEDEC issues often used standards for device interfaces, such as RAM and DDR SDRAM(double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random access memory), which is a type of memory in integrated circuits used in computers.

JEDEC Introduction

JEDEC Philosophy:JEDEC standards and publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products. JEDEC has 2700 participants, appointed by 270 companies work in 50 committees. The world community accepts the publications and standards that they generate.

Examples of standards

JESD 22-A103C HIGH TEMPERATURE STORAGE LIFE: The test is applicable for evaluation, screening, monitoring, and/or qualification of all solid state devices. High Temperature storage test is typically used to determine the effect of time and temperature, under storage conditions, for thermally activated failure mechanisms of solid state electronic devices During the test elevated temperatures (accelerated test conditions) are used without electrical stress applied.

Examples of standards

JESD 22-A104C TEMPERATURE CYCLING: This standard provides a

JESD 22-A106B THERMAL SHOCK: This test is conducted to determine the resistance of a part to sudden exposure to extreme changes in temperature and to the effect of alternate exposures to these extremes.

Apparatus of Test

The apparatus is a temperature controlled chamber capable of maintaining the entire sample population at a specified testing temperature.

Method of Testing

The samples will be stored at one of the temperature conditions given in Table 1:
Table 1: High Temperature Storage Conditions
Condition A: +125(-0/+10) C Condition B: +150(-0/+10) C Condition C: +175(-0/+10) C Condition D: +200(-0/+10) C Condition E: +250(-0/+10) C Condition F: +300(-0/+10) C Condition G: +85(-0/+10) C

Method of Testing

Typically, the sample is tested under condition B for 1000 hours, but other conditions or durations may be used. Note: the rate of temperature increase should be low to prevent overstress of the sample that would not occur under normal conditions. The failure criteria for a sample is:

The part can no longer function as designed Cracking, chipping, or breaking of the package as long as the package performance was critical to the performance of the sample. However, if the damage was due to fixtures or handling, then failure is not attributed to the test.

Method of Testing

Things to be specified:

Sample size and number of failures Time and conditions Whether intermediate measurements were taken

qJA junction-to-still ambient air resistance (natural convection

qJA

Tj Ta P

qJMA junction-to-moving air resistance (forced convection)

Deviations During Application

Results during application may vary since the application may differ from the following test conditions:

Power dissipation Air velocity, direction, turbulence Power and number of adjacent components and boards PCB orientation and size Two-sided vs. one-sided mounting Die size Copper trace thickness and widths Environment (for example, natural convection tests are done in a chamber 1 ft3)

Conduction resistances

qjctop, qjcbot junction to top of case and bottom of case resistances, respectively

qJCx

TJ Tcase P

qjb junction to board resistances

Leaded package: measure Tboard to foot of lead Surface mount package: measure board trace within 1 mm of package

These resistances are found by forcing all of the heat flow to go out the respective surface, which may not match reality

Thermal Characterization Parameter

JT junction to top thermal characterization JB junction to board thermal characterization The equations are the same as those for thermal resistance q except that the power P is now the total power, not just the power in that direction. For example, if only 5% of your total heat loss is down through the PCB, your P would still be your total power. These can help with estimates of junction temperature for object already under use where temperatures can be measured and there is no heat sink present (instead of for the design phase)

Compact Models

Two-resistor model: good for hand calculations but not really accurate

DELPHI Compact Models

These are mathematical models, not thermal resistance model Provided by some component manufacturers

Effect of Package Construction on Thermal Results

2s0p: two signal planes, zero power planes on laminate substrate for plastic ball grid array packages Added copper improves performance

Effect of PCB Design

More copper to spread heat means better performance.

Effect of Multiple Packages

Effect of PCB size

On setups where a lot of heat is carried away by the copper in the PCB, the larger the PCB the better the performance more heat transfer area.

Effect of Die Size

For the same power, larger dies have a smaller heat flux and hence better performance. Smaller dies tend to be cheaper, though.

a) PBGA package (plastic) b) ceramic flip chip

Effect of Die Power Level

As power levels go up, so do surface temperatures. This increases natural convection and radiation, decreasing qJA
