Novel partition-based approach to dynamic compact thermal modeling

A novel partition-based approach for the extraction of Dynamic Compact Thermal Models is presented. With respect to previous approaches, this methodology allows reducing the complexity of the constructed models, from quadratically to linearly dependent on the number of independent heat sources. The proposed methodology is validated through the application to two state-of-the-art electronic systems.
