DRV8704: Work temperature

Part Number: DRV8704

Hi,

I need a clarification about the work temperature of the DRV8704DCPR (Dual H-BridgePWM Gate Driver) :

The datasheet reports:

1) Operating ambient temperature range:        -40°C < Ta < +85°C

2) Operating virtual junction temperature:         -40°C < Tj < +150°C

My application works at 100°C, but using a good heatsink I can keep the junction temperature (Tj) under 130°C.

Can I use this component in my application or the max 85°C for ambient temperature (Ta) is mandatory?

Regards

Lorenzo
