The need for overheating (temperature) monitoring

The need for overheating (temperature) monitoring: challenges and solutions

As electronic devices become more densely populated and sophisticated, the heat generated by semiconductor devices and other electronic components is increasing.

There are several types of devices to detect heat such as temperature sensor ICs and thermistors.
This e-learning introduces Thermoflagger™ used in conjunction with PTC thermistors. 

As electronic devices become more densely populated and sophisticated, the heat generated by semiconductor devices and other electronic components is increasing.
Therefore, overtemperature detection solutions are becoming increasingly important.
If the temperature of any hot spot exceeds the design temperature of an electronic device, its reliability and safety are adversely affected.
Solutions for this issue include shutting down a system upon detection of abnormal heating and improving heat dissipation performance to reduce temperature rises.
In this e-learning, we’ll be discussing Thermoflagger™, an IC to detect abnormal heating and shut down a system.
There are several types of devices to detect heat such as temperature sensor ICs and thermistors. Thermoflagger™ is used in conjunction with PTC thermistors.
