The eX, SX-A and RTSX-S Power Calculator can be used to
estimate the total power dissipation (static and dynamic)
of eX devices and can be found at

Thermal Characteristics
The temperature variable in the Designer software refers
to the junction temperature, not the ambient
temperature. This is an important distinction because the
heat generated from dynamic power consumption is
usually hotter than the ambient temperature. EQ 1-1,
shown below, can be used to calculate junction
temperature.
EQ 1-1
Junction Temperature = ∆T + Ta(1)
Where:
Ta = Ambient Temperature
∆T = Temperature gradient between junction
(silicon) and ambient = θja * P
P = Power
θja = Junction to ambient of package. θja numbers are
located in the "Package Thermal Characteristics" section
below.
Package Thermal Characteristics
The device junction-to-case thermal characteristic is θjc,
and the junction-to-ambient air characteristic is θja. The
thermal characteristics for θja are shown with two
different air flow rates. θjc is provided for reference.
The maximum junction temperature is 150°C.
The maximum power dissipation allowed for eX devices
is a function of θja. A sample calculation of the absolute
maximum power dissipation allowed for a TQFP 100-pin
package at commercial temperature and still air is as
follows:
