Rohm Semiconductor has added a new thermal analysis function its Solution Simulator, enabling automotive and industrial circuit and system designers to verify power device and driver IC thermal issues ...

Joule heating, also known as resistive or Ohmic heating, is the power lost to heat as electrical current flows down a conductor. We were introduced to Joule’s first law (Power dissipation = I²R, VI, ...

The level of difficulty in designing electro-technique devices has increased, owing to thermal stress. With the development of electric vehicles and electric aircraft, and to keep up with the recent ...

Some of the important trends driving EV development are getting more than 200 miles out of a charge, pricing below $40,000, fast charging such as less than 30 minutes for an 80% charge, increasing ...

It’s costly and time-consuming to determine the causes of hotspots on circuit boards, and to attempt to arrive at a “well-tempered” board through multiple iterations once a prototype is approved. A ...

Today’s complex SoCs are prone to thermal issues that can cause field failures. Here’s how thermal analysis can help you ferret out those hotspots. As the semiconductor industry traverses through the ...
