Substituting the values from Table 1 into Equation 3 and 4, values for η and R S are obtained for this 'thermal diode' treated as a 2-terminal diode and listed in Table 2. Figure 2 is a plot of two ...

The primary goal in thermal design is to limit the junction temperature of integrated circuits. In their lists of absolute maximum ratings (Table 1), all IC manufacturers include the maximum operating ...
