Sponsored by ANSYS Determine the Thermal Signature of an Electronic System As electronic devices become smaller, denser and faster, the structural and thermal integrity of their electronic packages and printed circuit boards (PCBs) becomes more critical. Heat affects the performance and reliability of integrated circuits (ICs) and may cause failure. Keep things running … [Read more...]
New Super-Sensitive Temperature Sensor Accurate to +/-1.5°C
Omron Electronic Components has extended its non-contact MEMS thermal sensor range with a new narrow-field version specifically designed to provide accurate non-contact measurements of an objects’ surface temperature for industrial control, medical and building automation systems. The Omron D6T-1A-02 is a super-sensitive infra-red (IR) temperature sensor that makes … [Read more...]
Someday Humans Will “See” The Heat!
Many biological creatures are enabled with the ability to “see” the heat – reptiles, for example, effectively use this ability to detect the size of the heat-emitting object and its range. Other biological entities, including mammals, are enabled with the ability to perceive heat by a process known as Thermoception or Thermoreception. As humans, we are capable of sensing … [Read more...]
Computational Modeling of a Novel End-of-Aisle Close-Coupled Cooling Solution
Data centers are mostly managed by overly conservative thermal management approaches [1]. The typical thermal solution for data centers is perimeter computer room air handlers (CRAH). The traditional cooling method includes supplying air through raised floor plenum that is blown by the CRAH blowers, and the chassis fans, typically located at the rear end of the IT equipment, … [Read more...]
There’s a New Judge on the Bench
Sponsored by FLIR FLIR's first thermal imaging camera specifically designed for electronics bench testing in the lab. The FLIR ETS 320 accurately measure temperatures across more than 76,000 points on your device with just the push of a button. Save time and eliminate the guesswork associated with thermocouples and RTDs with non-contact temperature measurement and immediate … [Read more...]
