For Max. or Min. conditions, use appropriate value specified under Electrical Characteristics for the applicable device type.
Typical values are at VCC = 5.0V, T A = 25°C ambient and maximum loading.
Not more than one output should be shorted at one time. Duration of the test should not exceed one second.
Measured by the voltage drop between I and Y pin at indicated current through the switch. On-Resistance is determined by the lower of the voltages on the two (I,Y) pins.
