Bypass is the area between a passive heatsink and any object that can act to form a
duct. For this example, it can be expressed as a dimension away from the outside
dimension of the fins to the nearest surface.
CTE Coefficient of Thermal Expansion. The relative rate a material expands during a thermal
event.
DTS Digital Thermal Sensor reports a relative die temperature as an offset from TCC
activation temperature.
FSC Fan Speed Control
IHS
Integrated Heat Spreader: a component of the processor package used to enhance the
thermal performance of the package. Component thermal solutions interface with the
processor at the IHS surface.
ILM Independent Loading Mechanism provides the force needed to seat the 1156-LGA land
package onto the socket contacts.
PCH Platform Controller Hub. The PCH is connected to the processor via the Direct Media
Interface (DMI) and Intel®Flexible Display Interface (Intel®FDI).
LGA1156 socket The processor mates with the system board through this surface mount, 1156-land
socket.
PECI
The Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) is a one-wire interface that provides
a communication channel between Intel processor and chipset components to external
monitoring devices.
ΨCA
Case-to-ambient thermal characterization parameter (psi). A measure of thermal
solution performance using total package power. Defined as (TCASE – TLA) / Total
Package Power. The heat source should always be specified for Ψmeasurements.
ΨCS
Case-to-sink thermal characterization parameter. A measure of thermal interface
material performance using total package power. Defined as (TCASE – TS) / Total Package
Power.
ΨSA
Sink-to-ambient thermal characterization parameter. A measure of heatsink thermal
performance using total package power. Defined as (TS– TLA) / Total Package Power.
TCASE or TC
The case temperature of the processor, measured at the geometric center of the topside
of the TTV IHS.
TCASE_MAX The maximum case temperature as specified in a component specification.
TCC
Thermal Control Circuit: Thermal monitor uses the TCC to reduce the die temperature by
using clock modulation and/or operating frequency and input voltage adjustment when
the die temperature is very near its operating limits.
TCONTROL
TCONTROL is a static value that is below the TCC activation temperature and used as a
trigger point for fan speed control. When DTS > TCONTROL, the processor must comply
with the TTV thermal profile.
TDP Thermal Design Power: Thermal solution should be designed to dissipate this target
power level. TDP is not the maximum power that the processor can dissipate.
Thermal Monitor A power reduction feature designed to decrease temperature after the processor has
reached its maximum operating temperature.
Thermal Profile Line that defines case temperature specification of the TTV at a given power level.
TIM
Thermal Interface Material: The thermally conductive compound between the heatsink
and the processor case. This material fills the air gaps and voids, and enhances the
transfer of the heat from the processor case to the heatsink.
TTV Thermal Test Vehicle. A mechanically equivalent package that contains a resistive heater
in the die to evaluate thermal solutions.
TLA
The measured ambient temperature locally surrounding the processor. The ambient
temperature should be measured just upstream of a passive heatsink or at the fan inlet
for an active heatsink.
TSA
The system ambient air temperature external to a system chassis. This temperature is
usually measured at the chassis air inlets.

Package Mechanical and Storage Specifications
2Package Mechanical and
Storage Specifications
2.1 Package Mechanical Specifications
The processor is packaged in a Flip-Chip Land Grid Array package that interfaces with
the motherboard via the LGA1156 socket. The package consists of a processor
mounted on a substrate land-carrier. An integrated heat spreader (IHS) is attached to
the package substrate and core and serves as the mating surface for processor thermal
solutions, such as a heatsink. Figure 2-1 shows a sketch of the processor package
components and how they are assembled together. Refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4
for complete details on the LGA1156 socket.
The package components shown in Figure 2-1 include the following:
1. Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS)
2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM)
3. Processor core (die)
4. Package substrate
5. Capacitors
Note:
1. Socket and motherboard are included for reference and are not part of processor package.
2. For clarity the ILM is not shown.

Package Mechanical and Storage Specifications
12 Thermal/Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines
2.1.1 Package Mechanical Drawing
Figure 2-2 shows the basic package layout and dimensions. The detailed package
mechanical drawings are in Appendix D. The drawings include dimensions necessary to
design a thermal solution for the processor. These dimensions include:
1. Package reference dimensions with tolerances (total height, length, width, and so
forth.)
2. IHS parallelism and tilt
3. Land dimensions
4. Top-side and back-side component keep-out dimensions
5. Reference datums
6. All drawing dimensions are in mm
2.1.2 Processor Component Keep-Out Zones
The processor may contain components on the substrate that define component keep-
out zone requirements. A thermal and mechanical solution design must not intrude into
the required keep-out zones. Decoupling capacitors are typically mounted to either the
topside or land-side of the package substrate. See Figure B-3 and Figure B-4 for keep-
out zones. The location and quantity of package capacitors may change due to
manufacturing efficiencies but will remain within the component keep-in. This keep-in
zone includes solder paste and is a post reflow maximum height for the components.

Thermal/Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines 13
Package Mechanical and Storage Specifications
2.1.3 Package Loading Specifications
Ta b l e 2 - 1 provides dynamic and static load specifications for the processor package.
These mechanical maximum load limits should not be exceeded during heatsink
assembly, shipping conditions, or standard use condition. Also, any mechanical system
or component testing should not exceed the maximum limits. The processor package
substrate should not be used as a mechanical reference or load-bearing surface for
thermal and mechanical solution.
.
Notes:
1. These specifications apply to uniform compressive loading in a direction normal to the processor IHS.
2. This is the maximum static force that can be applied by the heatsink and retention solution to maintain the
heatsink and processor interface.
3. These specifications are based on limited testing for design characterization. Loading limits are for the
package only and do not include the limits of the processor socket.
4. Dynamic loading is defined as an 50g shock load, 2X Dynamic Acceleration Factor with a 500g maximum
thermal solution.
2.1.4 Package Handling Guidelines
Ta b l e 2 - 2 includes a list of guidelines on package handling in terms of recommended
maximum loading on the processor IHS relative to a fixed substrate. These package
handling loads may be experienced during heatsink removal.
Notes:
1. A shear load is defined as a load applied to the IHS in a direction parallel to the IHS top surface.
2. A tensile load is defined as a pulling load applied to the IHS in a direction normal to the IHS surface.
3. A torque load is defined as a twisting load applied to the IHS in an axis of rotation normal to the IHS top
surface.
4. These guidelines are based on limited testing for design characterization.
2.1.5 Package Insertion Specifications
The processor can be inserted into and removed from an LGA1156 socket 15 times. The
socket should meet the LGA1156 socket requirements detailed in Chapter 5.
2.1.6 Processor Mass Specification
The typical mass of the processor is 21.5g (0.76 oz). This mass [weight] includes all
the components that are included in the package.

LGA1156 Socket
3LGA1156 Socket
This chapter describes a surface mount, LGA (Land Grid Array) socket intended for the
processors. The socket provides I/O, power, and ground contacts. The socket contains
1156 contacts arrayed about a cavity in the center of the socket with lead-free solder
balls for surface mounting on the motherboard.
The contacts are arranged in two opposing L-shaped patterns within the grid array. The
grid array is 40 x 40 with 24 x 16 grid depopulation in the center of the array and
selective depopulation elsewhere.
The socket must be compatible with the package (processor) and the Independent
Loading Mechanism (ILM). The ILM design includes a back plate that is integral to
having a uniform load on the socket solder joints. Socket loading specifications are
listed in Chapter 5.

LGA1156 Socket
3.1 Board Layout
The land pattern for the LGA1156 socket is 36 mils X 36 mils (X by Y) within each of the
two L-shaped sections. Note that there is no round-off (conversion) error between
socket pitch (0.9144 mm) and board pitch (36 mil) as these values are equivalent. The
two L-sections are offset by 0.9144 mm (36 mil) in the x direction and 3.114 mm
(122.6 mil) in the y direction (see Figure 3-3). This was to achieve a common package
land to PCB land offset that ensures a single PCB layout for socket designs from the
multiple vendors.

LGA1156 Socket
20 Thermal/Mechanical Specifications and Design Guidelines
3.2 Attachment to Motherboard
The socket is attached to the motherboard by 1156 solder balls. There are no additional
external methods (that is, screw, extra solder, adhesive, etc.) to attach the socket.
As indicated in Figure 3-1, the Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) is not present
during the attach (reflow) process.
3.3 Socket Components
The socket has two main components, the socket body and Pick and Place (PnP) cover,
and is delivered as a single integral assembly. Refer to Appendix C for detailed
drawings.
3.3.1 Socket Body Housing
The housing material is thermoplastic or equivalent with UL 94 V-0 flame rating capable
of withstanding 260 °C for 40 seconds, which is compatible with typical reflow/rework
profiles. The socket coefficient of thermal expansion (in the XY plane), and creep
properties, must be such that the integrity of the socket is maintained for the
conditions listed in Chapter 5.
The color of the housing will be dark as compared to the solder balls to provide the
contrast needed for pick and place vision systems.
