If you add heat sinks to the output transistors U49–U56 and U110–U117,
such that the measured case temperature of the transistors remains below
65 °C at ambient temperature of 55 °C, each channel can drive up to 1.5 A.
However, the total current through all channels must not exceed 20 A.
1
Use
a heat sink that dissipates 0.5 W for each transistor driving up to 1.5 A. For
example, for four transistors, each driving 1.5 A, use a 2 W heat sink.
Table 5 shows the channels associated with the output transistors.
1
The 20 A total-current limit is based on the maximum current rating of the DSUB connector pins, 5 A, multiplied by 4, the
number of V
sup
pins.
