All electronics contain semiconductor devices, capacitors and other components that are vulnerable to thermally accelerated failure mechanisms. Thermal design becomes vital to improving the ...

There are two golden rules to thermal design: start simple and start early. The heat-flow path from the junction to the ambient, usually air in the local environment, determines a component’s ...

The impressive capabilities of twenty-first century medical technology, from imaging equipment to surgical instruments and automated immunoassays, are in many ways a tribute to the advances in ...

Thanks to the relatively recent rise of affordable board production services, many of the people reading Hackaday are just now learning the ropes of PCB design. For those still producing the FR4 ...

When electrons flow through a resistive material, heat is generated. It’s not uncommon for high-power IC chips to dissipate greater than 50 to 100 W. A few years back, projections showed that chips ...

As three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) technology becomes the architectural backbone of AI, high-performance computing (HPC), and advanced edge systems, thermal management has shifted from a ...

Thermal, stress and electronics cooling in-design analysis empowers designers to utilize ECAD and MCAD seamlessly for multiphysics simulation of electro-mechanical systems Convergence of FEM and CFD ...

Apple’s iPhones have somewhat decent heat management. There have been reports of the iPhone 15 running exceptionally hot, but nothing overly concerning. Apple solved that problem with the iPhone 16 ...

An international research team has proposed a novel photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) module design that purportedly reduces the risks of cracking in the panel's PV unit. “A critical issue for PVT collectors ...

Join us on Wednesday, March 30 at noon Pacific for the PCB Thermal Design Hack Chat with Mike Jouppi! Most of the time, designing a printed circuit board is a little like one of those problems in an ...
