Abstract

A thermal analysis method and apparatus, and a computer program that enable highly accurate heat transfer simulation of a structure or space, while reducing calculation costs. By performing thermal analysis on a structure or space using the calculation meshes generated by initial dividing means, the spatial distribution of heat flux vectors J and temperature gradient vectors ∇T are calculated; by calculating the volume integrals of the inner products J·∇T of the heat flux vectors J and the temperature gradient vectors ∇T for individual partitioned regions and acquiring the absolute values of the volume integrals, thermal management sensitivity indices are calculated for the partitioned regions. Subsequently, partition of calculation meshes and subdivision of partitioned regions are performed on a predetermined number of partitioned regions that indicate greater indices among the calculated thermal management sensitivity indices, for example one partitioned region. Thermal analysis is performed again using the calculation meshes.

A directional coupler includes a main line, a sub-line, an output terminal, a first termination circuit, and a termination switch. The sub-line includes a first end and a second end. The output terminal is connected to one end of the first end and the second end. The first termination circuit connects a first output path, which connects the one end and the output terminal, to a ground. The termination switch switches between connection and non-connection between the first output path and the first termination circuit.

Abstract

The present invention has an element body 20, an external electrode covering a portion of an outer surface (21) of the element body (20), and a protective film (30) of aluminum oxide. The protective film (30) is positioned between the element body (20) and the external electrode. The thickness of the protective film (30) in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface (21) of the element body (20) is defined as the film thickness (TP). The protective film (30) is viewed in a cross-section orthogonal to the outer surface (21) of the element body (20) at a location covered by the external electrode. When the average value and standard deviation of the film thickness (TP) are calculated in a range of 1 μm in a direction along the outer surface (21) of the element body (20), the ratio of the standard deviation to the average value is 0.4 or greater.

In some embodiments, first and second full gate-drive LDOs have “wired-OR” outputs which may power a target circuit such as a pre-driver (and optionally, a level-shifter) coupled to the gate of a power FET. In some embodiments, first and second reduced gate-drive LDOs have “wired-OR” outputs that may power a final driver coupled to the gate of a power FET. Some embodiments have dual full gate-drive LDOs that power a target circuit such as a pre-driver (and optionally, a level-shifter), while dual reduced gate-drive LDOs that power a final driver coupled to the gate of the power FET.

In some embodiments, first and second full gate-drive LDOs have "wired-OR" outputs which may power a target circuit such as a pre-driver (and optionally, a level-shifter) coupled to the gate of a power FET. In some embodiments, first and second reduced gate-drive LDOs have "wired-OR" outputs that may power a final driver coupled to the gate of a power FET. Some embodiments have dual full gate-drive LDOs that power a target circuit such as a pre-driver (and optionally, a level-shifter), while dual reduced gate-drive LDOs that power a final driver coupled to the gate of the power FET.
