Thermal Information

Thermal performance is directly linked to PCB design and operating environment. Careful attention to the PCB thermal design is required.

Thermal resistance and characterization parameter values specified in Table 7 are defined and calculated based on the JEDEC JESD51 standards. For more details on their definition and usage, see JEDEC JESD51-12 and the Thermal Analysis section.

Typical Application

Figure 9 shows a typical application circuit including the pull-up resistors required for both Side 1 and Side 2 buses. Bypass capacitors with values from 0.01 μF to 0.1 μF are required between V DD1 and GND1 and between V DD2 and GND 2 . The 200 Ω resistor shown in Figure 9 is required for latch-up immunity when hot plugging if the ambient temperature is between 105°C and 125°C, and must be placed on the side being hot plugged. Use 200 Ω for 5 V V DD1 and 91 Ω for 3.3 V V DD1 .
