PRODUCTION DATA.
The maximum IC junction temperature must be restricted to 125°C under normal operating conditions. To calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max) for a given output current and ambient temperature, use Equation 6.
where
Equation 7 to Equation 10 and Equation 11 to Equation 13 show two examples to determine how to use this information correctly:
For VBIAS = 5 V, VIN = 5 V, the maximum ambient temperature with a 4-A load through each channel can be determined by using Equation 7 to Equation 10:

For VBIAS = 5 V, VIN = 5 V, the maximum continuous current for an ambient temperature of 85°C with the same current flowing through each channel can be determined by using Equation 11 to Equation 13:
