Note: 1) Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance measurement conditions for packaged device:
PCB area: 10 cm × 10 cm × 1.5 mm; copper area approx. 60 %; via holes to ground layer
underneath the device; all pins soldered.
2) Do not exceed the maximum junction temperature. If used as packaged version, provide
sufficient PCB heat sink to the device by soldering all pins and sufficient copper area
underneath the chip (see note 1).
