Limits are 100% production tested at 25 ̊C. Limits over temperature are made sure through correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s AOQL.
This over temperature limit for Reverse Breakdown Voltage Tolerance is defined as the room temperature Reverse Breakdown Voltage Tolerance ± [(∆VR/∆T)(max∆T)(VR)]. Where, ∆VR/∆T is the VR temperature coefficient, max∆T is the maximum difference in temperature from the reference point of 25°̊C to TMAX or TMIN, and VR is the reverse breakdown voltage. The total over temperature tolerance for the different grades in the industrial temperature range where max∆T = 65°C is shown below:
  • A-grade: ± 0.425% = ± 0.1% ± 50ppm/°̊C × 65°̊C
  • B-grade: ± 0.525% = ± 0.2% ± 50ppm/°̊C × 65°̊C
  • C-grade: ± 0.825% = ± 0.5% ± 50ppm/°̊C × 65°̊C
Therefore, as an example, the A-grade LM4051-1.2 has an over temperature Reverse Breakdown Voltage tolerance of ± 1.2 V × 0.425% = ± 5.2mV.
When VOUT ≤ 1.6V, the LM4051-ADJ in the SOT-23 package must operate at reduced IR. This is caused by the series resistance of the die attach between the die (–) output and the package (–) output pin. See the Output Saturation curve in the Section 5.7 section.
Reference voltage and temperature coefficient change with output voltage. See Section 5.7 curves.
Long-term stability is VR at 25°̊C measured during 1000 hrs.
Thermal hysteresis is defined as the difference in voltage measured at +25 ̊C after cycling to temperature –40 ̊C and the 25 ̊C measurement after cycling to temperature +125 ̊C.
