Heat Dissipation for Power Resistors (.doc)

From Thin Film Technology Corporation
 

 
The ever-rising pressure to reduce circuit board size to fit the ever-shrinking chassis challenges design engineers not just with size constraints, but power and thermal constraints concurrently. The power dissipation of a circuit is not necessarily reduced as technologies advance and circuits become smaller.
