In addition, the primary heat sink is configured to face the air flow while the secondary heat sink is placed close to the fan with its fin direction the same as the direction of the air flow. As such, both the primary and the secondary heat sink get maximum air flow, allowing smaller heat sinks to be used in order to provide a reliable and cost-effective switched mode converter. | 2009-07-16 |
