Handling Precautions

The absolute maximum ratings denote the absolute maximum ratings, which are rated values that must not be exceeded

during operation, even for an instant. The following are the general derating methods that we recommend for when

designing a circuit incorporating this device.

temperature coefficient of 0.1%/℃. Take this temperature coefficient into account when designing a device for

operation at low temperatures.

IF(AV): We recommend that the worst case current be no greater than 80% of the absolute maximum rating of IF(AV).

Carry out adequate heat design. If it is not possible to design a circuit with excellent heat radiation, set the margin

by using an allowable Tamax-IF (AV) curve.

This rating specifies the non-repetitive peak current in one cycle of a 50 Hz sine wave, condition angle 180°. Therefore

this applies only to abnormal operation, which seldom occurs during the lifespan of the device.

We recommend that a device be used at a Tj of below 120°C under the worst load and heat radiation conditions.

Thermal resistance between junction and ambient fluctuates depending on the mounting condition of the device. When

using the device, design the circuit board and soldering land size to match the appropriate thermal resistance value.
