Tailored Cooling

Online help for heatsink dimensioning

Published in issue 398, February 2010

Tailored Cooling
Too many electronic circuits produce a certain amount of heat, which must be dissipated quickly and effectively to ensure proper component operation. All sorts of heatsinks are available for this purpose, but how can you calculate how much cooling you need, and how can you choose the right heatsink? Help is available on a variety of websites.
