Component Search

AI Thread Summary

Users of Altium Designer version 17.1 may encounter issues when trying to drag components from the supplier search directly onto the schematic sheet (.SchDoc). To resolve this problem, it is suggested to ensure that components are properly added to the project or library before they can be dragged and dropped into the schematic. For detailed guidance, refer to the Altium documentation on the manufacturer part search panel.

Dear viewers,

Thanks

Thread 'Cooling a processor chip'

I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
