Thermal management in high performance electronics has become a leading challenge for design and reliability engineers. Harsh temperatures can be caused either by harsh operational conditions (high power dissipation), or by harsh environmental conditions. Both require adequate thermal management to ensure that the product temperature stays within acceptable limits. High … [Read more...]

The Effect of Ambient Conditions on Local Climate Inside a Pump Electronics Enclosure
By: Parizad Shojaee Nasirabadi, Jesper H. Hattel INTRODUCTION Condensation and moisture related problems are the cause of failures in many cases and consequently serious concerns for reliability in electronics industry. Therefore, it is important to control the moisture content and the relative humidity (RH) inside electronics enclosures. Understanding the transport … [Read more...]
A Thermal Perspective on Heterogenous Integration for Harsh Mil/Aero Environment Electronics
HARSH ENVIRONMENT ELECTRONICS Harsh Environment Electronics are the unique electronic systems that operate our flights, factories and autonomous vehicles in a safe and reliable manner. As these systems manage the safety of persons and/or vehicles that cost millions of dollars, strict hardware and software system standards have been developed to operate in their harsh … [Read more...]
