  • Patent number: 9047060
    Abstract: A heating element and circuit module stack structure includes a circuit module carrying a chip unit, a heat sink having a flat bottom block protruded from a thermally conductive base member and in contact with the chip unit, a heat transfer layer set between the thermally conductive base member and the chip unit around the flat bottom block, an electric heating element mounted in between the heat transfer layer and the thermally conductive base member around the flat bottom block for heating the chip unit, and a thermal insulation component isolating the thermally conductive base member from the electric heating element. The circuit module turns on the electrical heating element when the temperature of the chip unit drops blow 0° C., and turns off the electrical heating element when the temperature reaches the normal operating temperature range, enabling the computer to be used in a low temperature or cold outdoor environment.
