(2) Thermal data for the RGW, RGR, and KTW packages are derived by thermal simulations based on JEDEC-standard methodology as specified in the JESD51 series. The following assumptions are used in the simulations: (a) i. RGW and RGR: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 4x4 thermal via array. - ii. KTW: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground layer through a 6x6 thermal via array. (b) Each of top and bottom copper layers has a dedicated pattern for 20% copper coverage. (c) These data were generated with only a single device at the center of a JEDEC high-K (2s2p) board with 3in × 3in copper area. To understand the effects of the copper area on thermal performance, refer to the Thermal Considerations section.
