Notes:
5. For the device mounted on minimum recommended pad layout 1oz copper that is on a single-sided 1.6mm FR4 PCB; device is measured
under still air conditions whilst operating in steady state condition. The entire exposed collector pad is attached to the heatsink.
6. Thermal resistance from junction to solder-point (on the exposed collector pad).
7. Refer to JEDEC specification JESD22-A114 and JESD22-A115.
