Question: Consider that two identical MOSFET ( and ) in the separate cases, mounted on a common heat sink. The devices are in TO - 2

Consider that two identical MOSFET ( and ) in the separate cases, mounted on a
common heat sink. The devices are in TO-220 packages and have a thermal resistance
from junction to case of *+,=1.2"/. The interface between the case and sink has a
thermal resistance of *,-=0.2"/, and the thermal resistance between the sink and
ambient is *-/=0.8"/.(20 pts)
