Why does Altera not provide junction to board thermal resistance (Theta JB) numeric data for MAX II devices?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Altera® provides Theta JB for devices which may be used with heat sinks.

For devices which are not used with heat sink (for example MAX® II), Altera provides junction to ambient thermal resistance (Theta JA) specification instead.

Theta JA values are available in the PowerPlay Early Power Estimator for the MAX II device Family (Excel file).
