    Figuring power dissipation increase w/ heatsink

    Hello! I'm trying to make sense of what is probably simple. Imagine I have an IC package that is rated to dissipate at most 1 Watt. The thermal resistance from case to ambient is not known (could maybe be generalized). I have a heatsink that has a thermal resistance of 20°C/W. Can I...
