† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. This value applies when the base-emitter diode is open-circulated.
2. Derate linearly to 100°C free-air temperature at the rate of 1.33 mW/°C.
3. Derate linearly to 100°C free-air temperature at the rate of 4 mW/°C.
4. Derate linearly to 100°C lead temperature at the rate of 1.33 mW/°C. Lead temperature is measured on the collector lead

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments (TI) reserves the right to make changes to its products or to discontinue any semiconductor
product or service without notice, and advises its customers to obtain the latest version of relevant information
to verify, before placing orders, that the information being relied on is current and complete.
TI warrants performance of its semiconductor products and related software to the specifications applicable at
the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are
utilized to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Specific testing of all parameters of each
device is not necessarily performed, except those mandated by government requirements.
Certain applications using semiconductor products may involve potential risks of death, personal injury, or
severe property or environmental damage (“Critical Applications”).
TI SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED, INTENDED, AUTHORIZED, OR WARRANTED

CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.
Inclusion of TI products in such applications is understood to be fully at the risk of the customer. Use of TI
products in such applications requires the written approval of an appropriate TI officer. Questions concerning
potential risk applications should be directed to TI through a local SC sales office.
In order to minimize risks associated with the customer’s applications, adequate design and operating
safeguards should be provided by the customer to minimize inherent or procedural hazards.
