Introduction The growth of battery powered applications is presenting new challenges for designers of electronic motor-driven solutions. Targeting higher performance and efficiency, the power stages of these products must manage high currents while meeting strict power dissipation and size requirements. This article illustrates a thermally aware workflow with Cadence® Celsius™ … [Read more...]
Air Ionization Techniques for the Cooling of Electronic Devices: Analysis of the Different Effects of Design Features on Cooling Performance
Rotary fans have been used to cool electronic devices using forced convection applications to achieve the required heat transfer dissipation. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to miniaturize the size and maximize the efficiency of the electronic devices which, in turn, increases heat generation. The use of rotary fan cooling conflicts with these new trends due … [Read more...]
Managing Cooling Fan Noise In Product Design
ABSTRACT Cooling fan noise is a system property determined as much by thermal and mechanical design and fan selection as by a fan’s acoustical design. While even the quietest fan can be used in a noisy manner, a significant fraction of unpleasant surprises can be avoided. NOMENCLATURE C Numerical constant D … [Read more...]
Thermal Management of Electronic Equipment using Phase Change Materials (PCMs)
Background The cooling of electronics and telecom equipment is essential to the proper operation of all applications. Removal of generated heat from these systems has been traditionally carried out via heat conduction/convection techniques. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are a relatively new concept for the cooling of electronic systems. A PCM is used to absorb peak energy … [Read more...]
