How to thermally simulate an FPGA accurately

Hi all, I am looking to investigate in more detail how to accurately simulate an FPGA device for temperature in a CFD solver. Currently, all the information I can gather from various sources sugges...

Hi Max

In the link below:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/support-centers/board-design-guidelines.html ,

under "Tools, Models and Libraries", there is Flotherm Models for various FPGA devices. We can use 3rd party tools to analyse the model. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks

Hi Eng, I currently do not use Flotherm or Ansys so cannot read these files. Are you able to export them to a solidwokrs compatible format? I have used the Flotherm models but these do not describe technically how the power source should realistically be applied. I believe that they assume a uniform power dissipation across the die area which is very pessimistic. Can you advise how these models are created and against what testing are they verified? Thanks, Max
