(1) All limits are guaranteed at T
A
= T
J
= 25°C only (standard typeface) or over the entire operating temperature range of the indicated
device (boldface type). All limits at T
A
= T
J
= 25°C are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via
correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control methods.
(2) All limits are guaranteed at T
A
= T
J
= 25°C only (standard typeface) or over the entire operating temperature range of the indicated
device (boldface type). All limits are 100% production tested and are used to calculate Outgoing Quality Levels.
(3) Output current will decrease with increasing temperature but will not drop below 1A at the maximum specified temperature.
