A top assignment a PCB designer is responsible for is to manage the heat generated by today’s large and small complex electronics components placed on a PCB. In effect, the PCB designer becomes a ...

While the LED market continues to grow at a rapid pace it seems there is still relatively limited understanding amongst engineers and designers of the principles behind thermal management of these ...

LED advances are revolutionizing the lighting landscape, enabling higher levels of energy efficiency, longer lifetimes, and new applications. LEDs can provide illumination for hours from solar-cell ...

Thanks to the relatively recent rise of affordable board production services, many of the people reading Hackaday are just now learning the ropes of PCB design. For those still producing the FR4 ...

Unlike incandescent tungsten-filament light bulbs, high-power LEDs do not radiate heat. Instead, LEDs conduct heat from their PN junction to the thermal slug on the LED package. Because the heat ...

Higher power density, smaller form factors and long-life reliability expectations all collide, requiring better thermal ...

NEW DELHI: LED lighting technology is the most useful lighting solution because electric current is directly converted to optical radiation in semiconductors. There's no doubt that LEDs are highly ...
