Advancing Electric Vehicle Battery Characterization By Integrating Drive Cycle On Cooling Impacts
By Ansys - 09 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Battery powered electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been gaining market share as the public’s environmental concerns drive the demand for better fuel efficiency. Apart from the need to improve the mileage one can drive before recharging, battery reliability is another major concern. Effective cooling in intense charge/discharge conditions is crucial to minimizi... » read more

Thermal Management Implications For Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging
By Cameron Nelson - 17 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 1

As the semiconductor industry reaches lower process nodes, silicon designers struggle to have Moore's Law produce the results achieved in earlier generations. Increasing the die size in a monolithic system on chip (SoC) designs is no longer economically viable. The breakdown of monolithic SoCs into specialized chips, referred to as chiplets, presents significant benefits in terms of cost, yield... » read more

Innovative Top-Side Cooled Package Solution For High-Voltage Applications
By Infineon - 02 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

This application note shows the benefits of using top-side cooled (TSC) power devices in high-voltage (HV) applications. In addition, it should help designers of such applications to understand how the device can be used and how an efficient and easy-to-assemble approach can be chosen to integrate TSC devices into the system. This application note describes Infineon’s new heat-spreader dual s... » read more

TAP-2.5D: A Thermally-Aware Chiplet Placement Methodology for 2.5D Systems
By Technical Paper Link - 23 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract "Heterogeneous systems are commonly used today to sustain the historic benefits we have achieved through technology scaling. 2.5D integration technology provides a cost-effective solution for designing heterogeneous systems. The traditional physical design of a 2.5D heterogeneous system closely packs the chiplets to minimize wirelength, but this leads to a thermally-inefficient design... » read more

Compact optical amplifier Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology propose a new optical amplifier design that is compact, high-performance, and doesn't generate excess noise. “We have developed the world's first optical amplifier that significantly enhances the range, sensitivity and performance of optical communication, that does not generate any excess noise – and is also com... » read more

Application and Verification of Effective Heat Spreading Angles on a Multi-Layer Thermal Design
By Technical Paper Link - 12 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "When designing converters, the average junction temperature of the semiconductor is a frequently required estimate. Its analytical calculation requires the total thermal resistance of the cooling arrangement. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of the heat dissipation processes, an estimate of the thermal resistance is usually associated with low accuracy. To significantly improve ... » read more
