(3) Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C unless otherwise specified. Limits over the operating temperature range are ensured through
correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.
(4) Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm as determined at the time of characterization. Actual typical values may vary
over time and will also depend on the application and configuration. The typical values are not tested and are not ensured on shipped
production material.
(5) Recovery time” is the slower of the Main and Auxiliary outputs. Output swing of 700 mVPP shifted up or down by 50% (0.35V) by
introducing an offset. Measured values correspond to the time it takes to return to within ±1% of 0.7 VPP (±7 mV).
(6) Distortion data taken under single ended input condition.
