Note: TLA values shown in the tables and charts of this section are informational, and may represent conditions outside of the supported operating range.
Note: These flow curves are based on numerical analysis and should be used as a starting point for thermal design estimation. Thermal performance of host systems may vary. Therefore, you should perform in-system thermal validation.
