[Power Parameters]
|
Real (Watts)
|
For more information, see Power Parameters.
|
Resistance
|
Real
|
The resistance value of the device. This parameter is used in conjunction with Units to enter the resistance units.
|
Units
|
Choice List
|
The units for the Resistance value. Choices are:
• Kohm (ohm * 1000)
• Mohm (ohm * 1E6)
• ohm
|
Load Resistance
|
Real
|
The total resistance between the wiper arm and one end of the potentiometer. This parameter is used in conjunction with Load Units to enter the load resistance units.
|
Load Units
|
Choice List
|
The units for the Load Resistance value. Choices are:
• Kohm (ohm * 1000)
• Mohm (ohm * 1E6)
• ohm
|
Operating Voltage
|
Real (Volts)
|
The operating maximum voltage.
|
Operations per Year
|
Choice List
|
The number of times per year the device is operated. Choices are:
• <= 10
• 10
|
Max Junction Temp
|
Real (Degrees C)
|
The maximum junction temperature, which is normally available in the manufacturer's databook. The device is flagged as overstressed if the sum of the temperature rise and subassembly temperature is greater than the maximum junction temperature.
|
Temperature Rise
|
Real (Degrees C)
|
The rise in temperature between the operating temperature and the junction. If you enter a value for this parameter, this value is added to the operating temperature.
