Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SA555

Hi,

a customer wants to use the NE555PWRG4 in TSSOP8 package for the temperature range of -25°C - +85°C.

Do you know which will be the limitations in this temp range even though the part is testet only for 0-70degrees?

Thx

Frederik,

There are only 25C specifications listed in the data sheet for NE, SA, and NA versions of the 555. The NE555PWRG4 is expected to work as well as a SA555PWRG4 if it were available, but it is not. However I can't officially 'support up-screening'. If the volume is large, then I can make a case for adding a PW option for SA555.
