  1. Thermal Design for Power Stages

  2. Thermal Design Consideratons • Understand test conditions • Power test • Natural convection or forced air flow • Heat sink requirements • Thermal mass • Thermal resistance • Thermal interface requirements • Thickness • Thermal conductivity

  3. Device power density • 2x300W output power @ η=90% → 60W dissipation • Power pad area = 0.64mm2 (<0.1sq inch) • Thermal interface material between device and heat sink is very important! • Thin interface layer required • High thermal conductivity required

  4. Heatsink mounting

  5. Heatsink mounting
