TPS51275C: Temperature rating list as 125C MAX but not in datasheet.

Part Number: TPS51275C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS51275

Tool/software:

I found the listed device via TPS51285, which ahs a listed operating temperature range of-40 to 85C. This range is reflected in the datasheet.

My issue is that the TPS51275 claims a range of -40 to 125C, but the datasheet reports the exact range as the other device. Which is true? This device would potentially meet our extended range requirements, but I can't design it in if it is also an 85C solution.  

  • Hi Javen, 

    Please look at the operating temperature under packaging information. It clearly specifies the same wrt OPNs.

  • Gautum,

    I appreciate you showing me this. However, this is in the addendum. On the "Recommended Operating Conditions" page:

    It clearly states -40 to 85C with no asterisk denoting any conditions, or "see Note" etc. Most engineers don't have the time or would think to look in the addendum for the information that should be up in the first few specification pages. As a result, I have chosen a Richtek part that clearly specifies that operating temperature without inducing confusion or questions.
