STM32F769 overheating problem

Hello, I have a PCB with LCD, SD-Ram, QSPI, CAN bus, SD card and everything works fine.

I use a STM32F769Bi (208pins LQFP).

Now I think the temp of the STM32F7 is very high (80-85deg).

Normally I work with Stm32f103 and have no temp problems.

(practically no temperature increase).

Does anyone have experience how much temperature is ok or do I have a PCB problem?

Sorry don't have a thermal camera, perhaps you can do a comparative loading test with a F7 NUCLEO or DISCO board.

Dear Gentleman,

That  behavior is not normal and you should have an issue somewhere. Having a temp offset of 50 between TC ( case) @82 and 32@ board .  That means more than 1W of PD ( Power dissipation) which is exceeding 1053mW of our LQFP208 package !  Please check your PCB , software configuration of I/Os , short cuts. Etc.

Good luck and let us know.

Cheers,

probably short cuts of output pin

Of course its going to get hot.

with LCD and SDRAM, you are pounding the bus matrices.

is it your custom board ?

easy fix use a heatsink, biggest possible within the package

The proper fix is inline resistors on every high frequency line:

      data/address lines and Qspi lines ( nSS not needed)

      LCD too maybe... definately the LCD clock pin

I use 27R or 33R, upto 100R should be ok.

These are 4x33R packs. like this one

The advice is to place the resistor as far away from the processor as possible.
