Laptop computer designers, audio amplifier makers, and power supply manufacturers can keep their products cooler by following these fundamental heat-sink design equations for natural convection and forced-air cooling. Power transistors and modules, many power-supply regulator assemblies, and high-current diodes typically generate more heat than their own mass can safely dissipate. For this reason, power devices […]
