That is not what I am getting from the datasheets, unless you can point me =
to some spec that limits the length of time. In my use I am looking at arou=
nd 5 seconds max, at 200mA maybe, anyway, so I don't see it as a problem.

I have got some samples to play with anyway, so will know soon enough.
