6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings

over operating free-air temperature range (unless otherwise noted)(1)(2)
MIN MAX UNIT
SHUTDOWN pin 1 kV
Power dissipation(3) Internally Limited
Input supply voltage (survival), VIN −0.3 16 V
ADJ pin −0.3 6 V
Output voltage (survival), VOUT(4) −0.3 6 V
IOUT (survival) Short-Circuit Protected
Input – output voltage (survival), VIN – VOUT(5) −0.3 16 V
Storage temperature, Tstg –65 150 °C
(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) If Military- or Aerospace-specified devices are required, please contact the TI Sales Office/Distributors for availability and specifications.
(3) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RθJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) – TA) / RθJA. The value of RθJA for the WSON (NGT) and SO PowerPAD (DDA) packages are specifically dependent on PCB trace area, trace material, and the number of layers and thermal vias. For improved thermal resistance and power dissipation for the WSON package, see Application Note AN-1187, SNOA401. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
(4) If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP3878-ADJ output must be diode-clamped to ground.
(5) The PNP pass element contains a parasitic diode between the IN pin and the OUT pin that is normally reverse-biased. Forcing the OUT pin voltage above the IN pin voltage will turn on this diode and may induce a latch-up mode which can damage the part (see Application and Implementation).
