1 Operation at levels beyond the ratings listed in this table may cause permanent damage to the device. The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only, and func-
tional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the electrical characteristics table is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum-
rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2 SW DMOS is self-protecting and will conduct when VSW exceeds 48 V.
THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS: May require derating at maximum conditions; see application information
