board layout, the rated thermal package thermal resistance and other
environmental factors. The junction temperature (T
J
) is calculated from
the ambient temperature (T
A
) and power dissipation (P
D
) according to
the formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P

• θ
JA
°C/W), where θ
JA
is the package thermal
impedance.
Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in
production.
Note 4: Current measurements are made when the output is not switching.
Note 5: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the QFN package to the
PC board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher
than 37°C/W.
Note 6: The Absolute Maximum Rating is a DC rating. Under certain
conditions in the applications shown, the peak AC voltage on the C2A and
C2B pins may exceed ±8V. This behavior is normal and acceptable because
the current into the pin is limited by the impedance of the coupling
capacitor.
