PCB infrared camera thermal analysis of circuit board design

PC heat dispersion pattern SPI	With the PCB-2000 determining the effectiveness of cooling techniques becomes a simple matter. Reliability testing can be done in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of using only thermocouples. Even when thermo couples are required, thermal imaging can quickly determine their proper placement.

Smaller and faster are major driving forces for today's designs. Together they translate into high power densities and the potential of thermal problems reducing reliability. Historically, i386 chips could be expected to dissipate 1.5 watts; i486's between 4 and 5 watts. The new Pentium(i586)chip can be expected to dissipate between 12 and 15 watts. Each generation of iX86 devices has seen about a 3X increase in power consumption-- and heat. Surface mount assemblies with plastic quad flat packs (PQFP) of 132 leads and 25mil pitch, mounted with a placement pitch of 1.5" are commonplace. IC packages with lead pitches of 10mils and pin grid arrays with pin counts of 256 and higher are coming on-line. MCM packages containing 0.3"x 0.3" die on placement pitches of 0.5" are also becoming commonplace. Ball Grid arrays(BGA's) Chip- on-board(COB) present even more challenges.

Image of a heat sink and a TO-3 style semiconductor mounted to it. This was part of an experiment to determine the efficiency of a new mounting material for semiconductors compared to zinc oxide compounds traditionally used. The image shows some localized hot spots on the case of the device, which indicates that heat is not being evenly carried away. Viewing the surface thermal profile also shows a thermal discontinuity between the transistor and the heat sink.

The integrated design of the PCB-2000 allows for computer control capture and data tracking. The below screen shot shows the level of manipulation possible.
