This book has been written for engineers to serve as a first text on the packaging of electronic systems. The material has been written for an engineering student or for a practicing professional working as a mechanical or electrical engineer with a company producing electronic products or systems. The engineering student should have completed fundamental courses in the engineering sciences, thermal sciences and materials as prerequisites. The practicing professional will probably be at the early stages of his or her career and be more concerned with the technical details of the design rather than the business strategy of a product line.
This book is an introduction to the design of electronic systems from a mechanical engineering perspective, although attention is given to circuit analysis that may be of more interest to the electrical engineer. As such it covers a very broad range of topics from the physics of semiconductors to the design of advanced high performance heat exchangers. To accommodate this breadth, we have divided the text into four independent parts. The first, Part 1, which includes three chapters, deals with foundations for design. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the entire field, covering in some detail the mechanical design issues that arise in developing an electronic system. Also covered are business aspects of this industry, particularly as they are related to a rapidly changing technology, which leads to early obsolescence of an existing product line, and exacting requirements for investing in new product development. Chapter 2 describes electronic components with emphasis on semiconductor devices. Importance is placed on silicon technology and the new developments in logic and memory circuits with higher levels of integration. We try to show in this chapter the dynamics of the technology and the emerging design problems associated with the ever increasing scale of integration. The most important problems are handling high I/O counts and dissipating very large heat flux with exceedingly small temperature differences. Chapter 3 covers circuit analysis. The conventional methods of analysis of ordinary ac and dc circuits are briefly reviewed. However, the emphasis is placed on transmission lines where inductance, resistance and capacitance are distributed along the length of the line. This development is new to most mechanical engineers and it is critical to their understanding of propagation delay, line charging and pulse reflections that must be taken into account in the design electronic systems with even moderate performance specifications.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Rarewaves.com USA, Unit 144 The Lightbox, 111 Power Road, W4 5PY, London, London, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
