(1) All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
(2) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good
indication of device performance.
(3) Supply current when output high typically 1 mA less at V
CC
= 5V.
(4) Tested at V
CC
= 5V and V
CC
= 15V.
(5) This will determine the maximum value of R
A
+ R
B
for 15V operation. The maximum total (R
A
+ R
B
) is 20MΩ.
(6) No protection against excessive pin 7 current is necessary providing the package dissipation rating will not be exceeded.
