Electrical Characteristics (Notes 2, 11) (Continued)
Note 9: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be
derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125˚C), the maximum power
dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the
following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP − (θJA x PD-MAX).
Note 10: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists,
special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.
Note 11: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the most likely norm.
Note 12: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are used in setting electrical characteristics.
Note 13: VREF pin (Bandgap reference output) is for internal use only. A capacitor should always be placed between VREF and GND1.
