2 Temperature Range

Satellites often experience the extreme hot and cold temperature ranges in space. In order to ensure the reliability of circuit electrical performance in this environment, TI’s Space EP products have a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, with electrical parameters tested and guaranteed to operate over those conditions. The commercial grade temperature range is typically 0°C to +70°C. For automotive products, there are several specified temperature ranges with the most common being Grade 3 at –40°C to +85°C. While some COTS and automotive products may operate beyond the rated temperature, many others do not. It becomes necessary to test the products at the temperature extremes of the application to determine if a COTS or automotive product would work.
