(1) 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 ensure specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which ensure specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not specified for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication
of device performance.
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(3) Unless otherwise specified the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the power supply voltage.
(4) For operation at ambient temperatures above 25°C, the device must be derated based on a 150°C maximum junction temperature and a
thermal resistance, junction to ambient, as follows: LM837N, 90°C/W; LM837M, 150°C/W.
