† Notice: Stresses above those listed under 'Maximum ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Thermal Information

It is recommended to connect this pad to VSS to enhance electromagnetic immunity and thermal resistance.

Typical Application

In order to meet the EMC/EMI requirements, a Common-Mode Choke (CMC) may be required for data rates greater than 1 Mbps. Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4 illustrate examples of typical applications of the devices.
