B-grade: ±0.85% = ±0.2% ±100 ppm/°C × 65°C

C-grade: ±1.15% = ±0.5% ±100 ppm/°C × 65°C

D-grade: ±1.98% = ±1.0% ±150 ppm/°C × 65°C

E-grade: ±2.98% = ±2.0% ±150 ppm/°C × 65°C

The total overtemperature tolerance for the different grades in the extended temperature range where max Δ T = 100 °C is shown below:

C-grade: ±1.5% = ±0.5% ±100 ppm/°C × 100°C

D-grade: ±2.5% = ±1.0% ±150 ppm/°C × 100°C

E-grade: ±3.5% = ±2.0% ±150 ppm/°C × 100°C

Therefore, as an example, the A-grade 2.5-V LM4040-N has an overtemperature Reverse Breakdown Voltage tolerance of ±2.5 V × 0.75% = ±19 mV.

(3) Load regulation is measured on pulse basis from no load to the specified load current. Output changes due to die temperature change must be taken into account separately.

(4) Thermal hysteresis is defined as the difference in voltage measured at 25°C after cycling to temperature -40°C and the 25°C measurement after cycling to temperature 125°C.
