Package Characterization: Simulations or Measurements?
White Paper
ABSTRACT
In this paper the applicability of the JEDEC JESD 51-1 static measurement method is compared to mainstream simulation tools, especially MCAD or EDA embedded CFD solutions. As the functionality of thermal simulators gets more complex and measurement techniques improve, the paper discusses different aspects of the trade-off between thermal simulation and physical testing.
