THERMALS
For most lab environments a fan is not required as long as the
airflow around the device is unobstructed. The temperature
monitor function (TM) may be used to monitor the effective
junction temperature of the V•I Chip.
CAUTION
The V•I Chip and evaluation board can comfortably operate at
surface temperatures which may pose a thermal hazard to the
operator. Be careful not to touch any exposed surface. Certain
V•I Chips may operate at potentially dangerous voltages, use
care in such cases. This evaluation PCB is not intended for use
in end item equipment.
