Thermal Resistance, active area to test point 1 (TP1)(1)
0.8
°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
Recommended Operating Conditions. 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 clear aperture since
any additional thermal load in this area can
significantly degrade the reliability of the
device.
