Heat-Sink Modeling and Design with Dipole Moments Representing IC Excitation
Abstract
Electromagnetic field coupling and radiation from a heat sink is a challenging issue in the electromagnetic compatibility design of high-speed circuits. In order to accurately predict the fields excited by a heat sink, an approach is proposed in this paper to include the equivalent excitation of the heat sink, which is described by some dipole moments constructed from the near-field scanning of the integrated circuit beneath the heat sink. With both the dipole moments and the passive heat-sink structure incorporated in a full-wave model, near-field coupling and far-field radiation can be estimated, and the heat-sink structure can be optimized for mitigating unintentional interferences. Two examples are used to validate and demonstrate the proposed approach.
