THERMAL MANAGEMENT

THERMAL MANAGEMENT FOR
TOMORROW'S VEHICLE

by Gary Manchester, Don Mueller, & Kiran Vanumati
The automotive industry is undergoing an exciting transformation in
connectivity as the need for higher speed
and for more compute power is changing
the game. Changes, updates and improvements are occurring nearly every day,
with automakers in a race to deliver the
latest safety and communication features

excellent conductor of
heat, therefore, modeling
the heat in the copper
traces provides detail
and accuracy.

and optimal functionality to consumers.
These trends are only accelerating and
the car of the (near) future will be more
connected than ever before. This is creating a tremendous demand for both processing power and the ability to transmit
vast amounts of high-speed data in new
automotive designs.

The design challenges go well beyond
simply delivering processing power and
high-speed data transfer. Design engineers must also safely manage heat generated by those processes in the confines
of tight vehicle packaging requirements,
as well as ambient temperature fluctuations, while adhering to stringent safety
