Note 2: On-time specifications are measured from 50% to 50% at the DH pin, with LX forced to 0, BST forced to 5V, and a 500pF
capacitor from DH to LX to simulate external MOSFET gate capacitance. Actual in-circuit times may be different due to
MOSFET switching speeds.
Note 3: Production testing limitations due to package handling require relaxed maximum on-resistance specifications for the thin
QFN package. The QSOP and thin QFN package contain the same die, and the thin QFN package imposes no additional
resistance in the circuit.
Note 4: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
