Absolute Maximum Ratings(1)

Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be opera-

ble above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addi-

tion, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The

absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. Values are at TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted.

Note:

1. These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150°C.

These are steady-state limits. Fairchild Semiconductor should be consulted on applications involving pulsed

or low-duty cycle operations.

Thermal Characteristics

Values ar e at TA = 25°C unle s s otherwise noted.

Notes:

2. Device is mounted on FR-4 PCB 1.6 inch X 1.6 inch X 0.06 inch.

3. PCB size: FR-4, 76 mm x 114 mm x 1.57 mm (3.0 inch x 4.5 inch x 0.062 inch) with minimum land pattern size.

LIFE SUPPORT POLICY

FAIRCHILD’S PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE

EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.

As used herein:

1. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are

intended for surgical implant into the body or (b) support or sustain

life, and (c) whose failure to perform when properly used in

accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be

reasonably expected to result in a significant injury of the user.

2. A critical component in any component of a life support, device, or

system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to

cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its

safety or effectiveness.

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY

Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website, www.fairchildsemi.com,

under Sales Support.

Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their

parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failed

applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the

proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild

Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors

are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical

and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise.

Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global

problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
