PWM operating frequency: 10 kHz
Maximum encoder frequency: 10 kHz
Maximum controller output frequency: 450 Hz
Electrical isolation to heatsink: 500 V ac (minimum)
Storage ambient temperature range: –40°C to 95°C (–40°F to 203°F)
Operating ambient temperature range: –40°C to 50°C (–40°F to 122°F)
Thermal cutback: Controller linearly reduces maximum current limit with an internal heatsink
temperature from 85°C (185°F) to 95°C (203°F); complete cutoff occurs
above 95°C (203°F) and below –40°C (–40°F)
