Thermal
Management
Block
To ensure that the Stratix II GX device operates in the specified thermal
operating conditions, a thermal management unit is included on the
board. The on-chip temperature sensing diode needs to be monitored by
an external temperature sensor, which is the Maxim MAX1619 device
(U17). Accordingly, a SMBus interface in the PLD fabric of the
Stratix II GX device is required to monitor the thermal data, and
potentially, be an active participant with the active-cooling mechanism.
Figure 2–17 shows the on-board thermal management system diagram.

The active-cooling device is similar to the Radian FB35+K52+T725 active
BGA cooler with clip.
