Version 3.0 of Flomerics'(www.flomerics.com) Flo/PCB thermal simulation software helps solve thermal problems in solder reflow processing associated with the use of lead-free solders. In particular, ...

The trend in end-equipment design is to optimize the module profile for sizing. This introduces a migration from metal heat sinks to PCB copper plane-based thermal management. Today’s modules use ...

Electronics companies at the leading edge of performance are being forced to address board-level thermal requirements at the earliest stages of design. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) constitute the ...

Typical 3D thermal simulation of electronics components assumes that all the power consumption the data sheets define is dissipated in the semiconductor. In the case of high current power modules, ...

Pulsonix, the industry-leading PCB design software from WestDev Ltd, has announced a major enhancement to its design ecosystem: a direct interface between Pulsonix and ADAM Research's TRM (Thermal ...

Thanks to MSC Software you can now download a free thermal simulation tool, PICLS Lite, via the Electronics Weekly website. It could represent a saving of hundreds of pounds, and means anyone can ...

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are a fundamental part of the majority of electronics systems. They are primarily designed to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components, and are ...

While marketers strive to launch the next “hot” product, engineers struggle to prevent literally hot products! A recent breakthrough in thermal modeling comes just in time as electronic component ...

S parameters play a dominant role in high speed PCB simulation and verification. Generation of S parameters is relatively easy at high frequency in comparison to other parameters like Y and Z. In this ...

Maybe my Google-fu sucks, but I've been having trouble locating good circuit design software that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. At the moment, I'm mostly just interested in something that will help ...
