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 ...

Adequate thermal designs are the pacing item in achieving successful SSfL applications using LEDs. The lighting marketplace is extremely cost-sensitive as well as very concerned with reliable long ...

An international research team has presented all possible system designs and applications for photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) technology. Their review includes conventional PV-T collectors, air-based ...

is the thermal resistance between the object and the environment. The problem is to determine whether the integrated circuit in question is reliable at high temperatures. Without a particular method ...

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 ...

Current density increases at the PCB/package level result in local temperature increases known as hotspots. In addition to highlighting the heat generated locally around and underneath certain ...

A newly designed website for Triton Thermal, a cutting-edge liquid cooling solutions company specializing in advanced thermal management for data centers, high-performance computing, and AI ...

Understanding the thermal performance of integrated circuits, whether they are microcontrollers, FPGAs, or processors, has always been essential to avoid the overheating that can cause circuit ...

User demands for high functionality in miniaturized devices such as mobile phones, portable media players, or GPSs oblige designers to use smaller components in each new design. As far as digital ICs ...
