Introduction Modern electronics are rapidly evolving to meet high-computing needs while shrinking in size resulting in large heat fluxes that must be removed for safe operation. Figure 1 shows a schematic of a generic electronics cooling system with representative heat transfer pathway from a chip (heat source) to a cold plate (heat sink) via heat spreaders and card retainers … [Read more...]
Calculating Thermal Design Power for Mobile Consumer Electronics – Part 2
Overview Thermal Design Power (TDP) is a term commonly used in the thermal management of consumer electronics. While the usage of this terminology may vary across the industry, it commonly refers to the amount of power that a device may dissipate indefinitely, in a given thermal environment, without exceeding the temperature limits of the device. The TDP for a consumer … [Read more...]

A Figure of Merit for Smart Phone Thermal Management
INTRODUCTION With smart phones and other mobile devices available in a variety of sizes and shapes, it is challenging to think in a consistent and comparative manner about the effectiveness of the thermal management solutions that they employ. This is growing more important as the mobile and wireless industries and associated research communities explore novel mobile cooling … [Read more...]
Thermal Challenges with Wearable and Implantable Electronic Devices in Healthcare
INTRODUCTION Traditionally, medical science has depended on a variety of diagnostic tests administered by medical personnel to either detect the onset of an illness or to monitor its progress. More recently, this focus has been supplemented by a strategy of health maintenance and disease prevention. Both of these strategies benefit from the frequent testing of individuals. Of … [Read more...]
