† Notice : Stresses above those listed under 'Absolute 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 operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure above maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note: The Package Power Dissipation specification assumes a recommended thermal via design consisting of a 2 x 3 matrix of 0.3 mm (12 mil) vias at 0.9 mm pitch connected to the ground plane with a 1.6 mm x 2.3 mm thermal landing.
