Electrical Characteristics(Notes)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by T
Jmax
(maximum junction temperature), θJA(junction to am-
bient thermal resistance), and T
A
(ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD
max
=
(T
Jmax−TA
)/θJAor the number
given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4040, T
Jmax
=
125˚C, and the typical thermal resistance (θ
JA
), when board mounted, is
326˚C/W for the SOT-23 package, and 180˚C/W with 0.4" lead length and 170˚C/W with 0.125" lead length for the TO-92 package.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged di-
rectly into each pin.
Note 4: Typicals are at T
J
=
25˚C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Note 5: Limits are 100%production tested at 25˚C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.
The limits are used to calculate National’s AOQL.
Note 6: The boldface (over-temperature) limit for Reverse Breakdown VoltageTolerance is defined as the room temperature Reverse Breakdown Voltage Tolerance
±
[(∆VR/∆T)(max∆T)(VR)]. Where, ∆VR/∆T is the VRtemperature coefficient, max∆T is the maximum difference in temperature from the reference point of 25˚C to
T
MIN
or T
MAX
, and VRis the reverse breakdown voltage. The total over-temperature tolerance for the different grades in the industrial temperature range where
max∆T=65˚C is shown below:

±
