Component Thermal Characterization Made Easy
On-demand Web Seminar
Abstract
Learn about proper thermal design solutions for IC components.
Duration: 26:19
Details
Overview
In order to properly design thermal solutions for IC components a complete understanding of the thermal performance must be understood. For IC component thermal characterizations there are trade-offs and benefits with both the analytical and experimental approaches. To accurately characterize the thermal performance of an IC package both methods are necessary, but understanding each method strengths is required to achieve the most benefit.
What You Will Learn
- An understanding of the strengths of measurement and analysis when determining the thermal performance of an IC package and the various thermal performance metrics
- How to use test to determine IC component failure
- What is necessary to develop a robust Comact Thermal Model (CTM)
