White Papers
State of the Art in Solid State Lighting Thermal Design
Unlike incandescent lighting that relies on heat to cause a filament to glow and produce light as hot black body, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductors and as such must be kept cool. When LEDs... View White Paper
State of the Art in LED Thermal Characterization
Using the JEDEC standard static test method for transient thermal measurements in accordance with JESD51-14 and CIE 127-2007 has increased the level of accuracy in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) thermal characterization.... View White Paper
Thermal transient measurement of high power bipolar transistors: chances and challenges
Transient thermal testing becomes more and more important for discrete power transistors (BJTs), IGBTs and MOSFETs. While reaching proper power levels is relatively simple for the two latter, measuring... View White Paper
