Thermal Design of Hybrid Microelectronics for Everyone

Abstract

This paper is an introduction to a personal approach to Electronic Thermal Design and Temperature Prediction. The approach described is essentially one of reducing the problems to manageable proportions. The designer should then probe around the boundaries of the problem and establish a temperature envelope. The envelope can then be trimmed until its extent is within the required accuracy. An additional point that comes from the paper is that perfection is the enemy of good and that sufficient is all that is required.
