Safety limiting(1) intends to minimize potential damage to the isolation barrier upon failure of input or output circuitry.| PARAMETER | TEST CONDITIONS | MIN | TYP | MAX | UNIT |
|---|
| IS | Safety input, output, or supply current | RθJA = 99.5°C/W, VI = 5V, TJ = 150°C, TA = 25°C | | | TBD | mA |
| PS | Safety input, output, or total power | RθJA = 99.5°C/W, TJ = 150°C, TA = 25°C | | | TBD | W |
| TS | Maximum safety temperature | | | | 150 | ℃ |
(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 Thermal
Information table is that of a device installed on a device evaluation
board. 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.
