Temperature is the number one enemy for the life of power supplies. As a rule of thumb, every 10°C increase in temperature decreases the lifetime of a power supply by half. Similarly, every 10°C decrease in temperature doubles their lifetime. Hence, the title of this piece “Rather be cool than dead”. The reason why temperature plays such an important role in the lifetime of power supplies can be found in the Arrhenius equation. The Swedish chemist, Svante Arrhenius, develope...
