Thermal design and analysis of a satellite borne FPGA is described in this paper. Thermal-conductive glue, vias and an aluminum bar were used to the FPGA and the PCB under the FPGA in order to help conduct the heat of the FPGA to heat sink. The results of finite element analysis showed that the case temperature of the FPGA decreased from 132.5°C to 55.4°C and the junction temperature decreased from 136.1°C to59.0 °C after the thermal design, which matches the requirements of thermal design.

Phase change material has been widely used in the fields of solar energy, aerospace, aviation, and buildings. In this paper, paraffin is applied in the thermal design of electronic equipment, in order to maintain a constant working circumstance. Finite-element analysis is implemented to analyze the feasibility of this thermal design.

There are many different types of manufacturing methods for heat sink fins in the current market. The aim of this study is to design an extrusion die for a radial-finned heat sink using a commercial finite element package, DEFORMTM 3D. We then conduct a series of simulation analyses with different variables such as friction factor, ram velocity, and fin gate stage of the die to evaluate the methods of decreasing the warping in the extrusion process. The die is assumed as a rigid body in the analyses. The results confirm the suitability of DEFORMTM 3D to design an extrusion die achieving a lower warping behavior of the radial-finned heat sink.

Thermal design, finite element analysis of a satellite borne PCB is introduced in this paper. Some methods were adopted to help heat conduct and a simplified computing model was built. The analysis results show that the temperature scope of the main structure is from 45.5°C to 72.3°C in high temperature work case and all of junction temperatures of components are lower than the derated maximum junction temperatures themselves and leave enough design margins, which match the requirements of thermal analysis.
