[1] Duty Cycle: Currents <11 A may be provided continuously. For currents >11 A, see Figure 1-3. The current may be
provided 60-T-I minutes any 60 minute period where T is the temperature in °C (room temperature is about 23 °C) and I is
the output current in amps. For example, 17 A, at 23 °C could be provided for 60-17-23 = 20 minutes each hour. When the
5502A is outputting currents between 5 and 11 amps for long periods, the internal self-heating reduces the duty cycle.
Under those conditions, the allowable "on" time indicated by the formula and Figure 1-3 is achieved only after the 5502A is
outputting currents <5 A for the "off" period first.
[2] For compliance voltages greater than 1 V, add 1 mA/V to the floor specification from 1 to 5 kHz.
[3] For compliance voltages greater than 1 V, add 5 mA/V to the floor specification from 5 to 10 kHz.
