This document gives information on the thermal design of integrated circuits in plastic packages. It provides some factors that the designer should consider before the necessary heat sinking can be ...

The local thermal conductivity in certain oxides can be precisely defined by a voltage-biased AFM tip, a new CiQUS study shows Overheating in electronic devices affects how it works and how long it ...

Because of an experience when I worked for GMC Truck and Coach 30 years ago, I have always thought thermal circuit breakers were not very good. Yet a recent experience with a thermal breaker seems to ...

During normal operation, thermal circuit breakers utilize a thermal sensing element (such as bimetal), which deflects when the temperature reaches a predetermined calibration level, causing the ...

“Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.

Introduced as an enhanced version of the company's 3120 circuit breaker, the3120-F7 comes in the same blue and gray colors and ergonomic packaging. In addition to providing protection against ...

It's only a circuit breaker. How hard could it be? A surprising number of engineers specify the wrong type of circuit breaker to protect their equipment. Engineers ...
