Absolute Maximum Ratings TC=25°C unless otherwise noted
Electrical Characteristics TC=25°C unless otherwise noted
Notes:
1. These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired.
2. These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
3. These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150degrees C.
