Thermal Budget: Transistors & Heatsinks - How to select power devices and specify heatsinking
Draft Issue 14 of 2017_01_01
WORK IN PROGRESS
INTRODUCTION
This article describes the basic procedure for selecting power transistors: BJTs, MOSFETs and IGBTs for power circuits: audio power amplifiers, inverters, linear and switch-mode power supplies for example. To simplify the explanation, only a power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) will be described, unless otherwise stated, but the information applies equally to the other...
