Output Voltage Sensing
possible to provide true remote load sensing. Load
regulation is limited by the resistance of the conductors
connecting the regulator to the load. For best results the
regulator should be connected as shown in Figure 10.

shutdown and current limit circuitry to protect the device.
High power regulators such as these usually operate at high
junction temperatures so it is important to calculate the
power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to
ensure that an adequate heat sink is used.
electrical isolation may be required for some applications.
Thermal compound should always be used with high current
regulators such as these.
following four factors:
1. Maximum Ambient Temperature T
2. Power dissipation P
3. Maximum junction temperature T
4. Thermal resistance junction to ambient R
dissipation are determined by the design while the
maximum junction temperature and the thermal resistance
depend on the manufacturer and the package type.
