Notes
• Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not
implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.
(1)
Derate linearly above 50 °C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.333 mA/°C.
(2)
Derate linearly above 50 °C free-air temperature at a rate of 0.467 mW/°C.
(3)
