Term Description
Linear Feet per Minute (LFM) Air velocity is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the cross-sectional area of the flow passage.
TLA The measured ambient temperature locally surrounding the FPGA. The ambient temperature should be measured just upstream of a passive heatsink or at fan inlet for an active heatsink.
