Hi Team,
The datasheet specifics -40°C for the cold end "Recommended Operating Conditions" (Section 7.3).
Will the decide operate down to -55°C? Will damage occur if tried? Is there a MIL-Grade options?
Thank You.

Hi Casey,
TI does not guarantee performance outside the "Recommended Operating Conditions." So, we cannot say whether or not the part will work. I would stay away from operating outside these conditions.
It does not look like there is a "MIL" grade option for this part in particular. But, I will double check for you and get back on that. Here's a link to a helpful tool for you to find a part that may fit your needs. I've pre-screened for the military rating. However, you can adjust the search parameters as you see fit.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Daniel
Hey,
Thanks for the response.
For this application we have a warm up time before guaranteed performance is required. Self heating will warm us into data sheet acceptable temperature ranges. Do you foresee any permanent damage with a -55C turn on? Or is it just performance isn't guaranteed until acceptable temperatures are achieved? I am asking because I noticed storage temperature going down to -65C.
Thanks,
Casey
Casey,
Understood. Do you just need the extended temp range or do you need a part that is specifically "military grade?"
To be perfectly honest, I just don't know what will happen below -40C as I don't have any experience testing out parts at temperatures that low. There are certainly risks. But, I can't say what that would be.
Let me know if you need help picking a part with a lower minimum temperature.

Daniel
Hi Casey,
Haven't heard from you in a while. Please let me know if you need any further help, else I will consider the issue to have been resolved.
Thanks,
