(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, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office or Distributors for availability and specifications.

(1) For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the
Semiconductor and device Package Thermal Metrics application report,
SPRA953.
(2) Typical thermal shutdown occurs if the junction temperature exceeds 165°C. The maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(MAX) , RθJA and TA . The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(MAX) – TA) / RθJA. All numbers apply for packages soldered directly onto a 3 inches × 3 inches PC board with 2 oz. copper on 4 layers in still air in accordance to JEDEC standards. Thermal resistance varies greatly with layout, copper thickness, number of layers in PCB, power distribution, number of thermal vias, board size, ambient temperature, and air flow.
6.5 Electrical Characteristics
All typical limits apply over TJ = 25°C, and all maximum and minimum limits apply over the full operating temperature range (TJ = –40°C to +125°C). VIN = 12 V, VBOOST – VSW = 5 V unless otherwise specified. Data sheet minimum and maximum specification limits are ensured by design, test, or statistical analysis.
