8. Absolute maximum ratings

Input Voltage (Vin relative to GND): 0V to 36V

SDA, SCL pin input voltage (relative to GND): -0.3V to 5.5V

Input Current: 4.5A (average)

Storage temperature: -55°C to 115°C

Ambient temperature with power applied (no output driven): -40°C to +85°C

ESD: 2000V (human body model)

Absolute maximum ratings must not be exceeded or permanent damage to the LED-Warrior04 may

result.

8.1. Operating Conditions

Input Voltage (Vin relative to GND): 0V to 32V

SDA, SCL pin input voltage (relative to GND): 0V to 5V

Operating temperature: -10°C to +60°C in still air

Maximum output power per channel: 25W

Maximum output current per channel: 1A

8.2 Thermal precautions

When operating at elevated ambient temperature,

vertical mounting in an air volume sufficiently

large to allow convection is recommended to

reduce surface temperature of the regulator.

Additional cooling measures can help to further

reduce the regulator temperature and increase long

term reliability.

No part of the module surface may exceed 95°C

during operation.

8.3 Failure modes

The most common failure mode seen when the

LED-Warrior04 is destroyed due to a departure

from maximum operating conditions is that it goes

into an inert status. Though it is not impossible that

a failure can lead to an internal short circuit.

8.4 Recommended safety measures

Failure current limiting by a fuse dimensioned for

the application or by a power source that is current

limited is recommended.
