2 What is a Heat Sink? Heat sinks enable a more efficient heat transfer from a heat source to the adjacent fluid by using an extended surface area Heat gets moved from heat source to heat sink by conduction Heat sink transfers heat to ambient air by convection Heat can also be radiated to surrounding environment Heat Sink Component dissipating heat PCB Heat Transfer by Conduction Heat Transfer by Convection and Radiation 3 Heat Sink Design Criteria Heat sink design and efficiency vary greatly depending on the construction and application Factors in selecting heat sink Component power dissipation and maximum junction temperature Available volume/space Interface material/mounting system Spreading resistance Thermal resistance R SA Pressure drop Flow by pass Natural or forced convection Manufacturability Cost 4 2

3 Thermal Resistance Definition Conductive Heat Transfer R k = T/Q = L/kA (K/W) Similar to R Ω = V/I (Ohms) k: Material thermal conductivity Face A at fixed T 1 > T 2 L Q x T 1 T 2 L/kA Face A at fixed T 2 < T 1 Convective Heat Transfer R h = T/Q h = 1/hA (K/W) T = T s - T V,T Surface A Q h T S h: Heat transfer coefficient T S 1/hA T 5 The Thermal Budget A useful tool in helping with Heat Sink selection Defined as: T budget = Q * R JA [K] Breaks the problem into clearly defined heat paths for a clear design understanding T A RSA Sink to Ambient Resistance T s RCS Case to Sink Resistance T C RJC Junction to Case Resistance T J 6 3

4 Case to Sink Resistance: Spreading Resistance Component encapsulant to heat sink Component substrate to PCB via solder balls Kennedy Charts can be used to estimate the spreading resistance See the Reference section for more details On line calculator from the University of Waterloo 7 Case to Sink Resistance: Interface Materials Thermal paste (ceramic mixed with silicon grease or hydrocarbons) Fluids, naturally fill the gap Thermal resistance is very low Thermally conductive compounds Initially flow as freely as grease to fill gaps and then cures with heat to a rubbery state Approximately same performance as grease Conductive elastomers Deform with pressure to fill irregular gaps Provide electrical insulation Adhesive tapes Double sided adhesive to stick to adjacent surfaces Resistances relatively high Phase Change Materials Behave like thermal greases after they reach their melting temperature Interface becomes thinner until surfaces contact or material viscosity prevents further flow 8 4

5 Heat Sink Fin Efficiency A temperature gradient exits between the top and the base of the fin Due to conduction resistance within the fin This can be quantified using the fin efficiency formula η = (tanh ml)/(ml) m = (2h/kδ) 0.5 h = Convection Coefficient k = Conductivity of Fin Material δ = Fin Thickness L = Fin Height δ An ideal fin (Tbase = Ttop) would have an efficiency of 1 L 9 Heat Sink Calculations To find a suitable heat sink for your application, you can use correlations to obtain h values and the Fin Efficiency formula Flat plate and ducted flow correlations available from most Flow and Heat Transfer books (please see References section) Flat Plate Geometry Circular Tube Characteristic Length L (m) Plate length Tube Diameter Flow Regime Laminar Turbulent Laminar Turbulent <10 5 >10 5 <2300 >2300 Also, consider the effects on flow impedance Few fins - low surface area, low pressure drop Many fins - high surface area, high pressure drop There is an optimum number of fins for a given flow rate Re Nu 0.664Re 0.5 Pr Re 0.8 Pr for constant Q 3.66 for constant T 0.023Re 0.8 Pr 0.4 Fluid properties defined at T = (T s +T )/2 Tube correlations assumes fully developed temperature and velocity profiles; smooth surface

7 Heat Sinks in Natural Convection Applications When designing a heat sink for a natural convection application, consider Heat sink orientation (compared to gravity) Pin fin heat sink maybe be more appropriate than a plate fin heat sink Surface finish Heat transfer by radiation is more predominant High emissivity surface will help dissipate more heat away from the heat sink 13 Thermal Design Tools Hand calculations/spreadsheet Excellent tool for early heat sink design exploration Finite Element Analysis (FEA) 3D numerical analysis Typically doesn t calculate convective heat transfer and radiation explicitly Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 3D Conjugate fluid flow and heat transfer numerical analysis Lab tests Most value when used as a model validation - rather than for parametric investigation
