THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Thermal management is an important part of the
system design. To ensure proper, reliable operation,
sufficient cooling of the power module is needed over
the entire temperature range of the module.
Convection cooling is usually the dominant mode of
heat transfer.
Hence, the choice of equipment to characterize the
thermal performance of the power module is a wind
tunnel.
Thermal Testing Setup
Delta’s DC/DC power modules are characterized in
heated vertical wind tunnels that simulate the thermal
environments encountered in most electronics
equipment. This type of equipment commonly uses
vertically mounted circuit cards in cabinet racks in
which the power modules are mounted.
The following figure shows the wind tunnel
characterization setup. The power module is mounted
on a 185mmX185mm,70μm (2Oz),6 layers test PWB
and is vertically positioned within the wind tunnel. The
space between the neighboring PWB and the top of
the power module is constantly kept at 6.35mm
(0.25’’).

Thermal Derating
Heat can be removed by increasing airflow over the
module. To enhance system reliability, the power
module should always be operated below the
maximum operating temperature. If the temperature
exceeds the maximum module temperature, reliability
of the unit may be affected.
