*Absolute maximum continuous ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur. Exposure to these conditions or conditions beyond those indicated may adversely affect device reliability. Functional operation under absolute-maximum-rated conditions is not implied.
†Derating: SOIC Packages: – 7 mW/°C from 65° to 125°C; TSSOP Package: – 6.1 mW/°C from 65° to 125°C
This device contains protection circuitry to guard against damage due to high static voltages or electric fields. However, precautions must be taken to avoid applications of any voltage higher than maximum rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. For proper operation, Vin and Vout should be constrained to the range GND ≤ (Vin or Vout) ≤ VCC. Unused inputs must always be tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (e.g., either GND or VCC). Unused outputs must be left open.

1. CPD is defined as the value of the internal equivalent capacitance which is calculated from the operating current consumption without load. Average operating current can be obtained by the equation: ICC(OPR) = CPD • VCC • fin + ICC. CPD is used to determine the no-load dynamic power consumption; PD = CPD • VCC2 • fin + ICC • VCC.
