There is a need to compute the input referred integrated noise (eIN) as: ensure that the dies’s junction temperature does not exceed 150°C. The LT6600-5 package has Pin 6 fused (e )2 – (e )2 e = O S to the lead frame to enhance thermal conduction when IN A connecting to a ground plane or a large metal trace.
