Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings ParametersRatings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress V rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any DD to GND –0.3 V, +7 V V other conditions above those indicated in the operational SS to GND +0.3 V, −7 V V section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute DD to VSS 7 V V maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect A, VB, VW to GND VSS − 0.3 V, VDD + 0.3 V A–B, A–W, B–W device reliability. Intermittent1 ±20 mA Continuous ±2 mA ESD CAUTION Digital Input and Output Voltage −0.3 V, VDD + 0.3 V to GND Operating Temperature Range2 −40°C to +85°C Maximum Junction Temperature 150°C (TJ max) Storage Temperature −65°C to +150°C Reflow Soldering Peak Temperature 260°C Time at Peak Temperature 20 sec to 40 sec Thermal Resistance 150°C/W Junction-to-Ambient (θJA),TSSOP-16 Junction-to-Case (θJC), TSSOP-16 28°C/W Package Power Dissipation (TJ max − TA)/θJA 1 Maximum terminal current is bounded by the maximum current handling of the switches, maximum power dissipation of the package, and maximum applied voltage across any two of the A, B, and W terminals at a given resistance. 2 Includes programming of nonvolatile memory.
