A top assignment a PCB designer is responsible for is to manage the heat generated by today’s large and small complex electronics components placed on a PCB. In effect, the PCB designer becomes a ...

High voltage power supplies (HVPS) for medical devices need stable, secure mounting methods and heat management.

Due to an increase in required power levels and a reduction in available board space in multiple-phase voltage regulator applications, printed circuit board (PCB) trace design has become an important ...

A physics informed machine learning model predicts thermal conductivity from infrared images in milliseconds, enabling fast, ...

Thanks to the relatively recent rise of affordable board production services, many of the people reading Hackaday are just now learning the ropes of PCB design. For those still producing the FR4 ...

Electronic packaging has continued to become more complex with higher device count, higher power densities and Heterogeneous Integration (HI) becoming more common. In the mobile space, systems that ...

The significant decreases in the size of power integrated circuits (ICs) have enabled system designers to achieve reductions in power-supply solution size and cost, which is critical to furthering the ...

The monolayer graphene thermal rectifiers were prepared based on our previously reported method for suspending large-area graphene 20,21. The sample quality was confirmed through Raman measurements ...

The Softtherm 86/200 material provides an ultra-soft, thermally conductive gap filling interface between hot PCB components and heat spreaders. Exhibiting a low 10 Shore 00 hardness, the material can ...
