Notes:
1. Case temperature, TC, is measured at top center of case surface with device soldered to circuit board.
2. The case-to-ambient thermal resistance is measured in a JEDEC JESD51-6 standard environment; and may not accurately predict
thermal performance in production equipment environments. The operational case temperature must be maintained.
3. Modeled on standard JEDEC 2S2P card, 50x50mm
4. 1.5 °C/W is the theoretical θJB using an infinite heat sink. The larger number applies to the module mounted on a 1.8mm thick, 2P card
using 1oz. copper power planes, with an effective heat transfer area of 75mm2.
