摘要:Use of handheld devices like smart phones, tablets etc. have become a basic need for the generation. With advancements in IT technology, lots of applications are running on these devices. To support faster response, highend processors which run on GHz clock are used in these devices. In addition, complex architectures with specialized processors are used to support video calling, streaming multimedia, gaming, multitasking etc. Because of this, high power consumption and heat generation is seen in handheld devices. With increase in temperature,users may find it inconvenient to use devices and temperature beyond certain limit may lead to breakdown of the devices. Hence there is a need to address this issue and many attempts have been made in this regard. This paper is a survey of the earlier works on thermal managementin handheld devices by passive as well as active cooling methods.
