4.1.2.6.1 Thermal Performance

Figure 38 is a block diagram representation of the low voltage thermal performance testing. The testing used a load generator and a power resistor for each rail in order to test the thermal performance of the board at each load currents worst case.

Figure 39 shows a thermal image of the bottom of the low voltage circuit board with all the rails shown in Table 2 at the full load condition. The maximum temperature is 29.9°C with an ambient temperature of 28.4°C. Figure 40 shows a thermal image of the top of the low voltage circuit board with all the rails at the full load condition. The maximum temperature is 32.1°C, with an ambient temperature of 30.1°C
