3.12 Heat Dissipation
3.12.1 Ocarina
The best way to dissipate heat from the Ocarina is to mount it so that its heatsink faces up.
For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Ocarina's heatsink and
any other assembly.
3.12.1.1 Thermal Data
• Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 10 °C/W.
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 240 seconds (thermal time constant means
that the Ocarina will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 4 minutes).
• Shut-off temperature: 86 °C – 88 °C (measured on the heatsink)
