Thermal resistance is one of those engineering concepts that sounds straightforward until you are staring at a component that keeps exceeding its maximum junction temperature despite a heat sink that ....
The power electronics industry has a problem that only keeps getting harder to solve. Devices are shrinking. Power densities are climbing. And the thermal load packed into each square centimeter ....
When a high-power electronics system starts running hotter than its thermal design intended, the conversation usually turns to the heat sink. More fins. Better airflow. Maybe a different base material. ....
