Payam Bozorgi and George Fleischman PiMEMS, Inc. Introduction As electronic system technology advances with continual increases in requirements leading to greater demand for higher power consumption, there have been growing challenges related to the design of thermal engineering and heat rejection technologies. The need for performance inevitably leads to operation of most … [Read more...]
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...]
Towards Reproducible ASTM D5470 Measurements at Lower Cost
Baratunde A. Cola Georgia Institute of Technology INTRODUCTION ASTM D5470 (updated to ASTM D5470-12 in 2012) [1] remains an industry standard for characterizing thermal interface materials (TIMs) despite some drawbacks. Ultimately, a TIM must be tested in its application to conclude its merits. Standardized testing is useful, however, for comparing TIMs in research and … [Read more...]
Mobile Temperature Control System for Fast Thermal Testing of Electronics
InTEST Thermal has released a new mobile temperature control system for high-speed thermal testing of electronics, sensors and assemblies. The Thermostream ATS-535 brings temperature to the test site by directing a stream of cooled or heated air, quickly reaching temperatures between -60 to +225°C. Highly mobile and capable of functioning without the need for an external air … [Read more...]
