3. MAX® 10 FPGA B610 Package CTM Construction

Compact thermal models (CTMs) are CAD models used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. These models simplify certain mechanical design features, such as solder bumps, vias, and substrates, to focus on providing accurate thermal analysis results as outlined in this document.

The following figure demonstrates the general structure of the MAX® 10 CTM model. The only input required for the CTM is the package power, and the valid outputs from the CFD analysis are the junction temperature and the heat dissipated from both the top and bottom of the FPGA.
