Thermal Management

T he PCB plays a key role in an efficient thermal

management system using thermovias and bonded
metal heatsinks

Drivers of the thermal management trend:

Miniaturization

More powerful devices (LED, MOSFET)

Cooling

system determines efficiency

Cooling is crucial for reliability and durability

High Current Wirelaid

Power and Logic combined on the Printed Circuit Board

Wirelaid, partial thick copper technology

provides the following benefits:

Wire reinforced high current tracks

Combination of power and control electronics

Partial power management

June 2014 Page 12

Lower system costs through reduced number

of layers and base copper thickness

Wirelaid
Wirelaid + Semiflex = Powerflex

E mbedded wires in semiflex areas

Combination

of buckling and bending areas

- Routing the signals through flex areas
- Directing the currents through buckling areas

Combination

with HDI is possible
