That's a good approximation for silicon based semiconductors. If your product is specified at a maximum ambient of 40C as most are, then you must allow for the thermal rise above that. It may very well have to be labeled and/or deemed inaccessible to operator (meaning more labels, tool access etc.) ===== Best Regards Hans Mellberg EMC Consultant __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
