Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1: For operation above 25
°
C free-air or 90
°
C case temperature, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. To avoid exceeding the design maximum
virtual junction temperature, these ratings should not be exceeded. Due to variations in individual device electrical characteristics and
thermal resistance, the built-in thermal overload protection may be activated at power levels slightly above or below the rated dissipation.
