HEAT SINK WARNING:
This amplifier requires an adequate heat sink to prevent
damage. Maximum case temperature must not be
exceeded. The package is designed to provide ade-
quate heat transfer to proper aluminum heat sink.
The AVP2524 amplifier provides nominal output
power of 15-20 Watts. Each amplifier uses control
circuitry to ensure safe startup and automatic
thermal shutdown and recovery. The amplifiers have
an external pin for TTL on/off control. On/Off Low or
High can be specified; standard is Off/Low. The
AVP2524 uses the preamp and driver stages to
provide ~ 40 dB of overall gain.
Heat sinking is required to keep the case
temperatures within a safe operating range. A thin
layer of thermal grease or HiTherm (for example the
HT-2500 series) helps provide a low resistance
thermal path between the case and the mounting
surface. The mounting surface should be metal with
heat conduction of aluminum or better. Heat sink
size depends on whether fan-driven air cooling is
used, or if only convection is used.
Maximum Tj of amplifier is 200°C.
