Note 1: LX has internal clamp diodes to GND and IN. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed the IC's package power-dissipation limits.

Stresses beyond those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

As soon as the junction temperature of the MAX1556/MAX1556A/MAX1557 exceeds +160°C, the ICs go into thermal shutdown. In this mode the internal p-channel switch and the internal n-channel synchronous rectifier are turned off. The device resumes normal operation when the junction temperature falls below +145°C.
