Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the device should
be operated at these limits. The tables of “Electrical Characteristics” provide conditions for actual device operation.
Note 2: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: All typicals are given for VCC = 5V and TA = 25˚C.
Note 4: Derate linearly at 5.56 mW/˚C to 650 mW at 70˚C.
Note 5: Derate linearly 6.11 mW/˚C to 400 mW at 70˚C.
Note 6: Differential - Input/Output bus voltage is measured at the noninverting terminal A with respect to the inverting terminal B.
Note 7: All worst case parameters for which note 7 is applied, must be increased by 10% for DS75176BT. The other parameters remain valid for −40˚C < TA
< +85˚C.
