Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device is func-

tional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which guar-

antee 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.

Note 2: Thermal resistance without a heat sink for junction to case temperature is 3˚C/W and for case to ambient temperature is 50˚C/W for the TO-220, 73˚C/W

for the TO-263. If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the P.C. board copper area thermally connected to the package.

Using 0.5 square inches of copper area,

is 32˚C/W.

Note 3: All characteristics are measured with a capacitor across the input of 0.1 µF and a capacitor across the output of 10 µF. All characteristics except noise voltage

taken into account separately.

Note 4: Guaranteed and 100% production tested.

Note 5: Guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over the operating temperature and input current ranges. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing qual-

ity levels.

Note 6: To ensure constant junction temperature, low duty cycle pulse testing is used.
