Electrical Engineering With Excel - Semiconductor Thermal Calculator

Welcome to electrical engineering with excel. In this video, we will explore the math used to calculate semiconductor junction temperatures. We will begin with a quick review, of thermal conduction basics, and how the temperature drops across materials, can be simply calculated, with an electrical Ohm’s law analogy. We will create a spreadsheet to do the calculations.
