Thermal techniques in measurement and control circuitry
Jim Williams
Designers spend much time combating thermal effects in circuitry. The close relationship between temperature and electronic devices is the source of more design headaches than any other consideration.
In fact, instead of eliminating or compensating for thermal parasitics in circuits, it is possible to utilize them. In particular, applying thermal techniques to measurement and control circuits allows novel solutions to difficult problems. The most obvious example is temperature control. Familiarity with thermal considerations in temperature control loops permits less obvious, but very useful, thermally-based circuits to be built.
