Understanding Thermal Dissipation and Design of a Heatsink

Texas Instruments

Published Date: 05/04/2011

Description

Power dissipation performance must be well understood prior to integrating devices on a printed-circuit board (PCB) to ensure that any given device is operated within its defined temperature limits. When a device is running it consumes electrical energy that is transformed into heat. Most of the heat is typically generated by switching devices like MOSFETs ICs etc. This application report discu
