▲Heat sink 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 1.79°C/W max.
† Power Supply should be capable of delivering 1A at start-up.
* Recommended Operating Voltage.
