Estimated maximum current based on



Ambient temperature = 65 °C



Thermal resistance of DUT on substrate = 12°C/W



Infinite heatsink



Duty cycle=100%

The Series Resonant Frequency is highly dependent on the substrate,

pad dimensions, and measurement method. The above chart is for

reference only.
