Analysis of PCB Cooling

Chaudhari Swetubhai, Patel Ravi, Patel Dhruv

Abstract


A complete numerical simulation is performed for PCB cooling using MatLab. Suitable algorithm is developed in order to find out important parameters involved and temperature of PCB. This exercise has been performed to develop an analytical procedure finding out the temperature of PCB and assure safe temperature of PCB has been reached. This is necessary to avoid failure of electronic circuits due to heat rise when processing data is more. A suitable parametric analysis is performed to understand the effects of changing various parameters on temperature of PCB.

Keywords
