Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an IC that operates at a maximum temperature of 85°C and generates heat at 5W, calculate the necessary thermal resistance to keep it within safe limits if the ambient temperature is 25°C.
💡 Hint: Use the equation for thermal resistance carefully.
Advanced ICs operate under increased power densities. Discuss how one could improve thermal management to handle higher power loads efficiently.
💡 Hint: Consider both active and passive cooling solutions.
