Heatsinks vs. Heat Spreaders: Understanding the Difference
When designing electronic systems, managing heat is a critical factor in ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability. But with so many cooling options available, how do you decide which solution is best for your application? Heat sinks and heat spreaders are two fundamental tools in thermal management, each with unique strengths and applications. In this article, we’ll explore the key differences between these technologies, weigh their pros and cons, and showcase how PHYTEC integrates them into our cutting-edge embedded systems for optimal cooling performance. Whether you’re tackling high-power industrial designs or compact IoT devices, we’ve got you covered!

Newsletter – Happy SOM-O-Ween!
It’s the beginning of October, and there’s a crispness to the evening air that wasn’t there before. The sun sets slightly earlier, casting a golden hue over the day’s final moments, and the first leaves have begun to drift lazily to the ground. This subtle shift marks not only the end of summer but also the beginning of a new season—and with it, a new quarter. We find ourselves entering that time of year when spooky movies start to fill our screens, bringing thrills and chills to cozy nights. Just like the twists and turns of a good horror film, this quarter promises surprises, fresh opportunities, and a few challenges lurking around the corner. We’re ready to embrace them with the same excitement that comes with watching a classic scary movie—eyes wide open, ready for what’s next! What’s your favorite scary movie?
