The parallel running tracks can improve and impede the heat spreading. Design007 Magazine (September 2020).They show that the heat spreading on a real PCB is not perfect and that it was certainly different on the test PCB of the data sheet. Here are some screenshots from Don't believe the data sheets. Therefore RΘJA cannot be used to predict the temperature for a specific board. especially the special topology of the PCB. "Ambient" includes everything around the component, from the pad to the air - i.e. The thermal resistance "Junction-Ambient" ΘJA or RΘJA links a temperature node inside the silicon die (Junction) with the surrounding air (Ambient).

Readers learn how to measure the thermal conductivity of dielectrics and how to measure the resistivity of copper traces and why many prior attempts to do so have been doomed to failure.Explores via temperatures and what determines them, along with fusing issues and whether we can predict the fusing time of traces.Presents sensitivity analyses that show what happens when environments are varied, including adjacent traces and planes, changing trace lengths, and thermal gradients.Details the IPC curves found in IPC 2152, the equations that fit those curves and computer simulations that fit those curves and equations.Covers PCB materials (copper and dielectrics) and the role they play in the heating and cooling of traces.PCB Design Guide to Via and Trace Currents and TemperaturesĮxplores how hot traces and vias will be and what board, circuit, design, and environmental parameters are the most important Doug Brooks has revised his previously self-distributed book on Amazon and it is now available from Artech House.
