Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is in-
tended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see Electrical Characteristics. The guar-
anteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: At elevated temperatures, devices must be derated based on package thermal resistance. The device in the surface-mount package must be derated at θ
JA
= 220˚C/W (typically), junction-to-ambient.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k Ω resistor into each pin.
Note 4: The absolute maximum peak and continuous currents specified are not tested. These specifications are dependent on the θ
JA , which is 220˚C/W for the
MSOP-8 package.
Note 5: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm. Specifications in standard type face are for T J = 25˚C and those with boldface
type apply over full operating temperature ranges.
Note 6: Limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control
(SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 7: There is a variation in accuracy over time due to thermal effects. Please refer to the “PWM Output and Current Accuracy” section for more information.
Note 8: This parameter is production tested at 1A and guaranteed by design at 2A.
Note 9: The tolerance of the internal lead frame resistor is corrected internally. The temperature coefficient of this resistor is 2600 ppm/˚C.
