11. Thermal design: Get the heat out of the electronics
    Tools and Technologies Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) Linear Technology LT3080
    Paul Rako EDN If you have high-powered LEDS, or a power supply, or are trying to control larger motors, you have to get a lot of heat out of your circuit boards. The classic way to dissipate heat is to bolt your power transistor to an aluminum heat ...
