Note 4: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.

Note 5: For operating at high temperatures, the LM2901EP must be derated based on a 125˚C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of 95˚C/W

which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The low bias dissipation and the “ON-OFF” characteristic of the outputs

Note 7: This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP

transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action

duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns

Note 8: These specifications are limited to −40˚C

Note 9: The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the outputso

no loading change exists on the reference or input lines.

Note 10: The input common-mode voltage or either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3V. The upper end of the

Note 11: The response time specified is a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive. For larger overdrive signals 300 ns can be obtained, see typical performance

Note 12: Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other voltage remains within the common-mode range, the

Note 14: "Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent deemed necessary to ensure product performance over the specified temperature

range. Product may not necessarily be tested across the full temperature range and all parameters may not necessarily be tested. In the absence of specific

PARAMETRIC testing, product performance is assured by characterization and/or design."

Note 15: The LM139 within this data sheet’s graphics is referenced because of it’s a similarity to the LM2901, however is not offered in this data sheet.
