(1) All characteristics are measured with a 0.22-μF capacitor from input to ground and a 0.1-μF capacitor from output to ground. All characteristics except noise voltage and ripple rejection ratio are measured using pulse techniques (tw ≤ 10 ms, duty cycle ≤ 5%). Output voltage changes due to changes in internal temperature must be taken into account separately.

  • (1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
  • (2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and specifications.
  • (3) The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is a function of the maximum junction temperature for operation $(T_{JMAX} = 125^{\circ}\text{C} \text{ or } 150^{\circ}\text{C})$ , the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance $(\theta_{JA})$ , and the ambient temperature $(T_A)$ . $P_{DMAX} = (T_{JMAX} T_A)/\theta_{JA}$ . If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature rises above $T_{JMAX}$ and the electrical specifications do not apply. If the die temperature rises above 150°C, the device goes into thermal shutdown. For the TO-3 package (NDS), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance $(\theta_{JA})$ is 39°C/W. When using a heat sink, $\theta_{JA}$ is the sum of the 4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance $(\theta_{JC})$ of the TO-3 package and the case-to-ambient thermal resistance of the heat sink. For the TO-220 package (NDE), $\theta_{JA}$ is 54°C/W and $\theta_{JC}$ is 4°C/W. If SOT-223 is used, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 174°C/W and can be reduced by a heat sink (see Applications Hints on heat sinking).If the DDPAK\TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PCB copper area thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 square inches of copper area, $\theta_{JA}$ is 50°C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, $\theta_{JA}$ is 37°C/W; and with 1.6 or more inches of copper area, $\theta_{JA}$ is 32°C/W.
