2.6.1 
Passive Heatsink Design in a Passive System 
Environment 
This section highlights important guidelines and related thermal boundary conditions 
for passive heatsink design in a passive system environment. Passive heatsink 
describes a thermal solution without a fan attached. Passive system environment 
describes a chassis with either a power supply fan or a built-in chassis fan. 
This information should be used in conjunction with the Thermal/Mechanical 
Specifications and Design Guidelines
 (TMSDG) published for Intel
®
 
Atom™
 
D400 and 
D500 Series processors. The TMSDG contains detailed package information and 
thermal mechanical specifications for the processors. The TMSDG also contains 
information on how to enable a completely fanless design provided the right usage 
scenario and boundary conditions are observed for optimal thermal design. While the 
TMSDG has a section on thermal design for passive system environments 
(pages 29-30), the information in this section can also be used to complement the 
TMSDG. 
2.6.1.1 
Definition of Terms 
 
 
Term Description 
T
A
 
The measured ambient temperature locally surrounding the processor. The ambient 
temperature should be measured just upstream of a passive heatsink.  
T
J
 
Processor junction temperature. 
Ψ
JA
 
Junction-to-ambient thermal characterization parameter (psi). A measure of thermal solution 
performance using total package power. Defined as (T
J
 - T
A
)/TDP. 
Note:  Heat source must be specified for Ψ measurements. 
TIM 
Thermal Interface Material: the thermally conductive compound between the heatsink and the 
processor die surface. This material fills the air gaps and voids, and enhances the transfer of the heat 
from the processor die surface to the heatsink. 
TDP 
Thermal Design Power: a power dissipation target based on worst-case applications. Thermal 
solutions should be designed to dissipate the thermal design power. 
T
A
 external 
The measured external ambient temperature surrounding the chassis. The external ambient 
temperature should be measured just upstream of the chassis inlet vent.
