THS3125: Environmental Test Data for Current Feedback Amplifier

janice roosa

Part Number: THS3125

I am interested in environmental data for a current feedback amplifier, part number THS3125IPWP. The datasheet for this part indicates that the operational temperature is -40C to 85C. I am interested in using this component in an environment that will see an operational temperature of -54C to 86C. Can you tell me what kind of environmental testing this part was exposed to in determining its -40C limit for operational temperature? Was this part ever tested to failure at temperatures lower than -40C? Or, was it only tested to the -40C operational limit? Has this device been characterized to determine what kind of performance degradation it might exhibit at operational temperatures lower than -40C?

Can I assume that occasional operation at 86C would not cause a problem?

    Hi Janice,

    The -40'C to 85'C operational limit is both set by design and characterization. I don't think we have characterization data to determine the performance degradation at operational temperatures lower than -40'C. It should be okay to operate the part occasionally at 86'C.

    Best Regards,
