Potential Pitfalls of Hybrid Electrical-Thermal Measurements for Thermal Characterization
Anurag Gupta, David H. Altman, Daniel P. Resler Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems Introduction Electrical resistors are often used to simulate heat-dissipating electronic devices in thermal characterization of semiconductor devices. This article describes a study in which test measurements and analysis were conducted in steady-state conditions to characterize the thermal … [Read more...]
Apple Files Patent for Smaller, Quieter Wireless Cooling Fan
A patent application filed by Apple hints at the company’s latest plan to bypass design limitations and shrink their devices even more. While the technology company strives to develop increasingly lighter and thinner products, certain components limit how thin and light the company can make their devices. One such component is the cooling fan, an essential thermal management … [Read more...]
