The junction to ambient thermal resistance is an industry-standard value that provides a quick and easy
estimation of thermal performance. Unfortunately, there are two values in common usage: the value
determined on a single-layer board and the value obtained on a board with two planes. For packages such
as the PBGA, these values can be different by a factor of two. Which value is closer to the application
depends on the power dissipated by other components on the board. The value obtained on a single layer
board is appropriate for the tightly packed printed circuit board. The value obtained on the board with the
internal planes is usually appropriate if the board has low-power dissipation and the components are well
separated.

When a heat sink is used, the thermal resistance is expressed as the sum of a junction-to-case thermal
resistance and a case-to-ambient thermal resistance:
