Abstract:
The paper describes a new concept for cooling electronic
applications where the heat capacity of the PCB is
enhanced. This is done by the utilization of commercial
phase change material (PCM) embedded in an epoxy resin
matrix in the PCB construction.
The basic idea of the concept is described in Fig.1 which
depicts the schematics of a PCB structure with a component
(device) installed on its surface and a PCM epoxy matrix as
heat reservoir installed in its inner part (“a”). During phase
change, part of the dissipated heat is absorbed by the PCB
which results into a lower operational temperature for the
component and longer time for the system to reach steady
state (“b”). When the device is turned off, the stored
energy is released to the environment (“c”).
Benchmark measurements between conventional and
heat capacitive PCBs as well as basic reliability tests will be
shown. Further possibilities for technology development
and applications will also be discussed.
