... If the case of the device must be electroni- cally isolated, a thermally conductive spacer can be used as long as the added contribution to thermal resistance is considered. Please consult Linear Technology’s “Mount- ing Considerations for Power Semiconductors,” 1990 Linear Applications Handbook, Volume 1 , Pages RR3-1 to RR3-20. Note that the case of the LT1581 is electrically connected to the output ...
