Hi,
I have some question about performance characteristics in LM338 datasheet.
Q1. When 100 ms, is the output current normal state or still current limiting? In case of Vin-Vout = 20V, when 100ms the output current is 3A. That mean the power dissipation can manage 20V * 3A = 60W?
Q2. What is the preload? Is that a output load?
I'll appreciate your response!
