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.
Note 2: That voltage to which the output may be forced without damage to the device.
Note 3: Unless otherwise specified these specifications apply for T
Package.
Note 4: If the junction temperature exceeds 150˚C, the output short circuit duration is 60 seconds.
Note 5: Without a heat sink, the thermal resistance junction to ambient of the H10 Package is about 155˚C/W. With a heat sink, the effective thermal resistance can
only approach the junction to case values specified, depending on the efficiency of the sink.
