Abstract :
Are heatsinks really needed in the red-green-blue video amplifier? Their cost is appreciable. In large-volume consumer production, engineering effort to eliminate heatsinks is well worthwhile. This effort may make use of computer aid. In particular, computer programs having statistical analysis routines may be applied to power dissipation levels, thus providing greater information about transistor junction temperatures.
