Electrothermal Analysis With Nonconvective Boundary Conditions.

Electrothermal analogy allows heat conduction and heat convection to be modeled as a simple resistive or RC network. A practical environment in which a chip is located is often not purely convective. Nonetheless, the environment is typically approximated as convective for simplicity of analysis. This yields inaccuracy of temperature estimation; ad-hoc calibration process is necessary to match esti...
