I'd like to use the TIOS101 in a 24V-48V application.
The datasheet shows an absolute max rating on VCC and OUT of 55V, but a recommended max of only 36V. What is the reason for the wide difference in absolute vs recommended? Is it because of the internal LDO dissipating too much heat at >36V? And if so, does that mean I can use the version without the internal LDO safely and continuously at 48V? Or are there other components that also don't like >36V?
