Po'man's Thermalmodeling For Pcbs

摘要

Thermal modeling printed circuit boards (PCBs) in high power density applications is a critical part of circuit design. With more discrete components condensed on smaller PCBs, heat flow starts to play a big role. After all, consumers don't want to have laptops burning their thighs or desktops exuding the nauseous fumes of plastic. Much thought, analysis, and testing are put into electronic designs to properly cool and dissipate heat. As a rule of thumb, the more analysis and testing that is needed, the more resources, time, and money are needed.
