• The thermocouple should be attached at a 90-
degree angle as shown in Figure 15.
• The hole size should be smaller than 0.150" in
diameter.
5.1.1. THERMAL EQUATIONS AND DATA
For the Pentium processor 75/90/100/120/133/
150/166/200, an ambient temperature, TA (air
temperature around the processor), is not specified
directly. The only restriction is that TC is met. To
calculate TA values, the following equations may be
used:
TA = TC - (P * θCA)
where:
θCA = θJA - θJC
TA and TC =
θCA =
θJA =

Tables 23-26 list the θCA values for the Pentium
processor 75/90/100/120/133/150/166/200 with
passive heat sinks. Figures 16-17 show Tables 23-
24 in graphic format.

*Though the figure shows the package with a heat spreader, the same technique applies to measuring TC of the package
without a heat spreader.
