Problem Title:
XPLA Architecture: How to calculate thermal resistance for the CoolRunner packages?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: Currently, the CoolRunner datasheets
do not have any information regarding the calculation of
thermal resistance.


Solution 1:

Temporarily, until the CoolRunner characterization data is
incorporated into the Standard Xilinx documentation, an
approximation of the thermal characteristics can be
obtained from the most recent Xilinx Databook:
http://support.xilinx.com/partinfo/pkgs_pdf/pkgs1.pdf

The values are nearly identical to the Philips data.
