INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT
KEVIN GRIFFIN, ATRENNE COMPUTING SOLUTIONS
 
As increasing numbers of embedded systems are deployed on small platforms, thermal overdesign – or designing for a physically impossible worst case of simultaneous maximums – is becoming a significant issue. It can be addressed, without compromising system viability, by using a real-world focus to define combinations of thermal triple-threat specifications.
