iWatt Inc., a developer of energy-efficient digital power supply control integrated circuits (ICs), recently was recognized in Gartner’s “Cool Vendors in Semiconductors” report. The company advances “digital power management” with its patented Adaptive Digital Control technology. iWatt uses digital algorithms to replace traditional analog control solutions, delivering size, … [Read more...]
Heat Conducting Graphene Could Cool Electronics
Multiple layers of graphene show strong heat conducting properties that can be harnessed in removing dissipated heat from electronic devices, a team of scientists from the University of California reported in a recently published paper in the journal Nature Materials. Having previously shown that graphene — a two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms packed in a honeycomb structure … [Read more...]
Engineer Honored for Contributions to Thermal Research
Binghamton University faculty member Bahgat Sammakia received the 2010 ITherm Achievement Award during the 12th Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems in honor of his contributions to electronics, thermal and thermomechanical research, as well as his service to the electronics thermal management community. Sammakia, director of … [Read more...]
Thermoelectricity: Turning Temperature Differences Directly into Electricity
The fundamental problem in creating efficient thermoelectric materials is that they need to be good at conducting electricity, but not at conducting thermal energy, say Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers. That way, one side can get hot while the other gets cold, instead of the material quickly equalizing the temperature. But in most materials, electrical … [Read more...]
Heat Sink Reliability Risks from Thermal Greases
ATS Thermal Labs has published a white paper, “Long term Thermal Grease Reliability.” It considers how long term heat sink reliability is affected by the use of thermal greases as thermal interface materials. The implications are very important as they will affect the MTBF of electronic equipment. Read the paper from ATS Thermal Labs. … [Read more...]
