Thermal resistance, active area to test point 1 (TP1)(1)

(1) The DMD is designed to conduct absorbed and dissipated heat to
the back of the package where it can be removed by an appropriate heat sink. The
heat sink and cooling system must be capable of maintaining the package within
the temperature range specified in the Recommended Operating
Conditions. The total heat
load on the DMD is largely driven by the incident light absorbed by the active
area; although other contributions include light energy absorbed by the window
aperture and electrical power dissipation of the array. Optical systems
need
to be designed to minimize the light energy falling outside
the window clear aperture since any additional thermal load in this area can
significantly degrade the reliability of the device.
