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.
Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.
1. At nominal output load, 24V nominal supply voltage. Amplifier can withstand
a full mismatch (short or open) across all phases at the RF output for peak
envelope power (PEP) not exceeding the output power at 1 dB compression (or
+41dBm typ. at output) [Refer to application note AN-60-037 for PEP calculation].
