With CPUs and chip sets running at clock speeds that were once thought of only in terms of UHF and microwave communications frequencies, heat generation is a problem for PC-system designers. The ...

This is the last in a series of three articles on thermal diodes. The previous two articles of our 'thermal diode' series, How to Measure Temperature in Integrated Systems and The ‘Thermal Diode’…A ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

The primary goal in thermal design is to limit the junction temperature of integrated circuits. In their lists of absolute maximum ratings (Table 1), all IC manufacturers include the maximum operating ...
