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
