Safe Operating Area
The safe operating area (SOA) of the device is shown in Figure 56, through Figure 59 for 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V
outputs and varying amounts of forced air flow. The temperature derating curves represent the conditions at
which the internal components are at or below the manufacturer’s maximum operating temperatures. Derating
limits apply to devices soldered directly to a double-sided PCB with 2 oz. copper, similar to the EVM. Careful
attention must be paid to the other components chosen for the design, especially the catch diode.
