We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Heatsinking",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Audio core supports latest Dolby encoders from
Tensilica, which we summarised at the time by saying "Encoders enable manufacturers to design consumer devices that support Dolby 5.1-channel surround sound as well as next-generation HD video technologies".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Controller is simple hot-swap answer from
Linear Technology Corp: "High voltage ideal diode-OR controller offers a simple low-loss replacement to the Schottky ORing diodes in multiple, N+1 redundant, power supply applications and high availability systems".
In December 2007, we covered the news from XP Power
concerning its JCA series
- take a look at Convertors are smaller than the norm
which says: "Maintaining the industry standard pinout makes the convertor an ideal drop-in replacement for existing designs".
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology Corp, Speedy ADC simplifies receiver design,
as well as Heatsinking enclosures offer easy access from Astrosyn International Technology,
and Power supply design explained around the world from Power Integrations.
