FloTherm software is for IC thermal characterization and design. Is a Web-based platform that automates design tasks associated with full-spectrum thermal characterization and validation. Is said to reduce time spent on thermal characterization and design by up to 25% by providing an automated process that includes pre-verified thermal models. Addresses full-spectrum thermal metric and compact model generation with adherence to JEDEC standards; package-aware parametric design for what-if analysis; EDA tool interfacing for detailed modeling of BGA substrates for physical layout, and data mining of simulation data.

No. 952 is a 550°F electrically-heated forced air convection bench oven, currently used for various programmed heat processings. Workspace dimensions measure 26" x 22" x 16". 3kW installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements provide heat to the workload. A 1/80-HP recirculating blower creates a convection air movement in the chamber. Features 3" insulated walls, an aluminized steel exterior, Type 430 stainless steel interior and an integral oven stand. Has a programmable and recording temperature controller with 10" diameter circular chart, plus a manual reset excess temperature controller with separate contactors.

PowerDC Thermal software works in concert with the PowerDC Electrical simulation software as an integrated thermal/electrical analysis environment for IC packages and printed circuit boards. Is said to eliminate manual iterations between simulations with separate electrical and thermal tools, reduce time and improve results convergence. Considers both die heating and copper heating on package and board, and takes into account temperature and location dependencies. Considers factors such as increasing electrical resistance at higher operating temperatures. Results are said to accurately reflect the impact of increasing component power dissipation as temperatures rise. Imports design files from all popular PCB and IC package layout systems. Performs analysis on partially or fully placed and routed designs. Account for complex plane shapes, including cut-outs, wires, solder balls, solder bumps, and via structures to maximize accuracy.
