Clearing up the confusion about the IPC 2152 with Mike Jouppi, the “Thermal Man''. Mike originally sat on one of the IPC task groups working on standards for thermal management. He will help us be enlightened about thermal management on PCB, which will be very useful to apply to your next PCB design project. Altium 365: Where the World Designs Electronics Watch the video, click here. Show Highlights: Storytime! Mike's background in PCB design and involvement in IPC task groups He worked in the Airforce as Missile Maintenance Specialist and later had an internship at Hughes Aircraft in Tucson, Arizona, where he did a thermal analysis The TQM mindset—total quality management is what kept him moving forward What does it mean when “Power was Negligible”; this led to Mike's first encounter with the IPC document How to take a vacuum environment into consideration? This is the question that leads Mike to start research and develop testing methods Mikes received funding from Lockheed to do internal research and perform testing to understand trace heating Mike shares his journey to seek funding for testing and how he ended up setting up his lab in his basement He developed 68 different charts, 13 of those were raw data, and the remaining ones were all analytical creations with the thermal model Mike started working with IPC in 1999, IPC 2152 came out in 2009 Mike wrote a chapter in Happy Holden's Printed Circuits Handbook Clearing up confusion over what IPC 2221 and IPC 2152 represent, Mike emphasizes using the documentation as a baseline Another storytime! How did Mike come up with the name “Thermal Man”? The story involved measuring the thermal properties of an egg. Visit thermalman.com to check out Mike's website More research was performed involving flex, heating vias, and microvias Discovery of the original data to the charts that are in IPC 2221 documented in the National Bureau of Standards report from 1955ish Mike has the data to prove that copper planes and copper pour affects thermal management The major players in terms of temperature response of the trace: Influence of the copper planes Mounting configuration Before the IPC took over the industry standards in electronic design, the National Bureau of Standards (the government) handled the management and documentations Check out more videos and courses about Thermal Management on Altium Academy Youtube Channel Links and Resources: Connect with Mike Jouppi on LinkedIn Visit Mike Jouppi's Electronics Thermal Management LLC website OnTrack Episode with Isvan Novak: DesignCon 2020's ‘Engineer of the Year' Talks Power Integrity, Picosatellites, and Simulation Tools Read Happy Holden's Article on Altium Resource Hub IPC Website IPC 2221 and IPC 2152 Connect with Zack on LinkedIn Full OnTrack Podcast Library Altium Website Download your Altium Designer Free Trial Learn More about Altium Nexar Altium 365: Where the World Designs Electronics

The future of the automotive industry is quickly changing. OEMs and suppliers are investing in the technology and advanced materials needed for EV systems and components. During this podcast, Russel Bloomfield discusses why EV thermal management systems are so critical, and how to ensure your components are safe and reliable.
It's no secret that we expect certain freedoms from our automobiles. The ability to drive long distances and complete journeys in comfort, regardless of the weather outside, is a key prerequisite. We know that the climate control systems of battery electric vehicles do indeed affect the driving range – but just how much of an impact is it? And in a world that is beginning to wage a war against climate change, how is the cabin comfort of BEVs being optimized without being detrimental to our planet?

Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today – a podcast for the Aerospace & Defense industry. A place that brings the promise of tomorrow’s technology to the ears of our listeners today.When you think about the first airplanes… they were propeller-driven. Then, the jet engine came along and transformed the nature of aviation for good. Today, we’re ready to embark on the next frontier – electric propulsion. Electric propulsion is a great response to the need for green energy alternatives and battling climate collapse. Electric propulsion is being built into short-haul aircraft, urban air mobility vehicles and even into supersonic air travel. In our last episode, we had a great conversation on aerodynamic design and the associated elements that impact performance and efficiency. Today, we’ll address power density and thermal management of an eVTOL aircraft. You’ll learn the benefits and challenges of using electrical systems, how companies go about solving those challenges and how Siemens is contributing to the digitalization of this space through the Xcelerator portfolio.I am your host, Scott Salzwedel, and in this episode, I am joined by two industry leaders. Dale Tutt, Vice President of Aerospace & Defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software, and Thierry Olbrechts, the Director of Simcenter Aerospace Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Please join me for this one-of-kind discussion. Where else are you going to hear about mastering the physics of high-power density electric motors?In this episode, you will learn:The innovations happening in electric propulsion. (02:54)The advantages and challenges of electrical systems. (04:03)The challenges of electrical propulsion relating to eVTOL design. (05:43)What needs to be considered when making electrical propulsion units viable for aviation? (10:03)How companies manage the heat produced by the electrical propulsion units. (12:28)How Siemens Xcelerator helps customers come up with good solutions.

In the right environment, blade servers are an excellent way for data center managers to increase density and workloads while addressing space limitations. But with blades comes other issues -- managing power and cooling. Denser environments usually mean more power and more cooling. Aaron Hanson, senior manager PowerEdge Blade servers at Dell, addresses these issues in brief podcast. Find out how you can increase productivity and density, and still manage power and cooling.
The industry that services IT management – vendors for processors, servers, storage, software, HVAC, and others – is really taking action to address the growing issue of the rising energy costs in the enterprise. But each one individually can only tackle their part of the equation. It takes a village, as they say, to coordinate all these disparate efforts. This podcast features John Pflueger who leads the power and thermal management initiatives at Dell. Listen as he breaks down the issues and tells us how organizations like The Green Grid, DMTF and SPEC are driving key initiatives. This is the first of a multi-part series that provide an overview (this podcast) and dive into each of the main issues.
In this podcast we talk with Kevin Kettler, CTO at Dell, about innovations that address the management of power and thermals in everything from laptops to broader datacenter issues. There is a lot of buzz these days about lower power components. But did you know that processors represent only 6% of the power profile in a datacenter? Solving these issues are much more complex – there are broader issues to address. Listen as Kevin talks about innovations that companies like Dell are undertaking to address these issues.
