The easiest way to solve these equations is to iterate with
standard values. If we guess R
use 47k. The Thevenin impedance comes out 26.7k, which
is close enough to 25.55k.

Now we will use equation (5) to determine the heat sinking
requirements of the drivers to insure thermal stability:

§
C/W
This is the required heat sink for each driver. For low TIM
we add the 1 M
X
resistor from pin 3 to the output and a
910k resistor from pin 4 to ground. The complete schematic
is shown below.

If the output is shorted, the transistor voltage is about 28V
and the current is 5A. Therefore the average power is:

This is much larger than the power used to calculate the
heat sinks and the output transistors will overheat if the out-
put is shorted too long.
