As we like to say in our thermal design labs at ATS, it’s all about JUNCTION TEMPERATURE at the IC.  Cooling your IC is what it’s all about to get a cooler electronics system and our friends at Mentor Graphics/FloTHERM have a tool to help out with that. Dubbed FloTHERM IC, the package, “is deployed as a unique web-based platform that delivers a high level of automation to the design tasks associated with full-spectrum thermal characterization and validation”.
Sounds good to us! Anything that leads to cooler systems is a plus in our book.  You can check out the new softwware at FloTHERM IC.
