Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations
NOTES:
1.
Intel does not support or recommend operation of the thermal diode under reverse bias.
2.
Same as I
FW
3.
Characterized across a temperature range of 50–80 °C.
4.
Not 100% tested. Specified by design characterization.
5.
The ideality factor, nQ, represents the deviation from ideal transistor model behavior as
exemplified by the equation for the collector current:
I
C
= I
S
* (e
qV
BE
/n
Q
kT
–1)
Where I
S
= saturation current, q = electronic charge, V
BE
= voltage across the transistor
base emitter junction (same nodes as VD), k = Boltzmann Constant, and T = absolute
temperature (Kelvin).
6.
The series resistance, R
T,
provided in the Diode Model Table (
) can be used for
more accurate readings as needed.
The processor does not support the diode correction offset that exists on other Intel
processors
