* These ratings are limiting values above which the serviceability of any semiconductor device may be impaired.

NOTES:

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

2) These are steady state limits. The factory should be consulted on applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations

* Pulse Test: Pulse Width

≤ 300µs, Duty Cycle ≤ 2.0%
