5.8 Safety Limiting Values

Safety limiting(1) intends to minimize potential damage to the isolation barrier upon failure of input or output circuitry. A failure

of the I/O can allow low resistance to ground or the supply and, without current limiting, dissipate sufficient power to overheat

the die and damage the isolation barrier potentially leading to secondary system failures.

(1)

The maximum safety temperature, TS, has the same value as the maximum junction temperature, TJ, specified for the device. The

IS and PS parameters represent the safety current and safety power respectively. The maximum limits of IS and PS should not be

exceeded. These limits vary with the ambient temperature, TA.

The junction-to-air thermal resistance, RθJA, in the table is that of a device installed on a high-K test board for leaded surface-mount

packages. Use these equations to calculate the value for each parameter:

TJ = TA + RθJA × P, where P is the power dissipated in the device.

TJ(max) = TS = TA + RθJA × PS, where TJ(max) is the maximum allowed junction temperature.

PS = IS × VI, where VI is the maximum input voltage.
