▲ Heat sink and fan not included. Alternative heat sinking and heat removal must be
provided by the user to limit maximum base-plate temperature to 85°C, in order to
ensure proper performance. For reference, this requires thermal resistance of user’s
external heat sink to be 0.3°C/W max.
1. At constant open or short load 28V nominal supply voltage
2. Measured with 2 tones, 1 MHz apart, +20 dBm/tone
3. Measurements with small signal, Pin=-15dBm input
4. Power Supply should be capable of delivering 6.0A at star up.
