Power Dissipation (Note 1) ............... Internally Limited
Lead Temperature (Soldering, 5 seconds) ........ 260°C
Storage Temperature Range ............ –65°C to +150°C
Operating Junction Temperature Range
................................................. –40°C to +125°C
TO-220 θJC ........................................................ 2 °C/W
TO-263 θJC ........................................................ 2 °C/W
Input Supply Voltage ............................... –20V to +60V
Operating Input Supply Voltage .................. 2V† to 26V
Adjust Input Voltage (Notes 9 and 10)
...................................................... –1.5V to +26V
Shutdown Input Voltage ......................... –0.3V to +30V
Error Comparator Output Voltage .......... –0.3V to +30V
† Across the full operating temperature, the minimum
input voltage range for full output current is 4.3V to 26V.
Output will remain in-regulation at lower output voltages
and low current loads down to an input of 2V at 25°C.
