APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Maximum Power Dissipation

The maximum power the MAX74822 can safely dissipate is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. For

plastic packages, the maximum safe junction temperature is 150°C. If this maximum temperature is exceeded,

reduce the die temperature to restore proper circuit operation. Leaving the device in the overheated condition for

an extended period of time can result in device burnout. To ensure proper operation, it is important to observe the

specifications shown in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Thermal Resistance sections.
