This is one of the best theory about Heat-Sinks.
 

heat sink design calculation

FANT,
Where can I find at aavid the selection and design program ? I didn't find it.
Thanks.
 

heatsink design

Here is one version of the program. It is called coolcat

The second version is the most recent.
 

heat sink design software

here is another application note"mounting considerations for power semiconductors"
 

heatsink design software

flatulent, zgx,
Thank you for the uploaded files.
PS. I went again to aavid. The coolcat program is there really, but not at first glance reachable.
 

pcb heatsink design

Thank you for the great resources.
But most of the time, I use copper on the PCB for heat dissipation.
I also comsume lots of PCB space.

The area of the copper poly on the PCB must
be calcuated by hand. I wonder if anyone has any
applcaition program for calculating the area?

Thank you for any information
 

heat sink selection software

Since you have the formulas you use by hand, you could automate the calculations with a spread sheet. Over the years I have done this many times and used the spread sheets as needed years later.
 

calcul of heat sink book

Peter Vizmuller's RF Design Guide , includes with the book some excell files for thermal resistance calculations. I tihink I have seen the complete ebook posted in the ebook section. If you want it and cannot find it I will upload it.

heat sink design calculations

flatulent, I agree that you can use a spreadsheet, but not in complex situations, where you have tapered-fins, multi-angle fins, different manufacturing capabilities...etc.
Powerful software packages can do much more than just simple "cascaded" claculations.

Cheers.
 

heat sinkdesign for pcb

Transmeta has a good thermal guide with an example how you design a notebook.
