Description

Thermal impedance (junction to ambient) is one of several indices reported to reflect the thermal performance of a package. This document shows the impact of the wind-tunnel k-factor test-board design parameters on thermal impedance results. It presents a software modelling approach using the THEATACAL software package. The design and results are provided with an analysis of the variance. Verifica
