Thermal Resistance, active area to test point 1 (TP1)(1)

°C/W
(1) The DMD is designed to conduct absorbed and dissipated heat to the back of the
package. The cooling system must be capable of maintaining the DMD within the
temperature range specified in the Section 5.4. The total
heat load on the DMD is largely driven by the incident light absorbed by the
active area; although other contributions include light energy absorbed by the
window aperture and electrical power dissipation of the array. Optical systems
should be designed to minimize the light energy falling outside the window's
clear aperture since any additional thermal load in this area can significantly
degrade the reliability of the device.
