Operating Temperature Range .......................... -40NC to +85NC
Operating Junction Temperature (Note 2) ......................+110NC
Storage Temperature Range............................ -65NC to +150NC
Soldering Temperature (reflow) (Note 3) ........................+260NC
Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and IN. Do not exceed the power dissipation limits of the device when forward
biasing these diodes.
Note 2:
Limit the junction temperature to +110NC for continuous operation at full current.
Note 3:
The WLP package is constructed using a unique set of package techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the
device can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder pro-
files recommended in the industry-standard specification JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and convection
reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
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.

Note 4:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
