Ironwood Electronics' new high performance thermal socket lid -TSL-ST-01 allows any IC devices to be placed inside any socket and operated at IC's extreme temperature to determine its thermal capability.Thermal Socket Lid & Control Systems enable temperature control of IC devices during thermal characterization using direct thermal contact technology that provides accurate … [Read more...]
Challenges In Thermal Control Of Military Electronics Systems
Thermal design engineers working in defense electronics are facing many challenges, some of which have been around for a long time and some that are more recent. Worldwide climatic extreme temperatures are reasonably constant and there are many military electronic systems that function in these extremes. As a result, there is significant design history available for … [Read more...]
Thermal testing and control by means of built-in temperature sensors
Introduction This paper will discuss a new approach to the measurement of the thermal properties of PCBs and the packages mounted to them. It is intended to replace traditional solutions, such as using thermocouples and data acquisition equipment. The basic idea of this approach is that the IC chips themselves will be used to measure and acquire temperature data. It will be … [Read more...]
