6. Thermal Design Process

This section details the thermal design process for the MAX® 10 FPGA B610 package using Quartus Power Analyzer (QPA) power output and compact thermal model (CTM).

The need for a thermal solution depends on the use case; some scenarios have low power and require no heatsink, while most high-power applications require a heat sink. This section explains the design methodology for various such scenarios.
