Sufficient cooling must always be considered to ensure reliable operation, as these devices operate in a variety of thermal environments.
Factors such as ambient temperature, airflow, power dissipation and reliability must be taken into consideration.
The data presented in Figures 19 to 22 is based on physical test results taken in a wind tunnel test. The test set-up is shown in
Figure 27.
The thermal reference points are (1) T ref1 = temp at dual Mosfet, as shown in Figure 26, and (2) T ref2 = temp at controller IC. For reliable
operation, neither T ref1 or T ref2 should exceed 115 °C.
Voltage Margining
Output voltage margining can be implemented as follows:
Please consult your local Bourns Field Applications Engineer for more details and the calculation of the required resistor values.

Thermal Considerations
1) Trim-up: Connect a resistor, Rm-up, from the Trim pin to the ground pin for adjusting the voltage upwards, and
2) Trim-down: Connect a resistor, Rm-down, from the Trim pin to the output pin for adjusting the voltage downwards.
