LM3480 Operation at extreme low temp

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP2951, LM3480

We are looking to reuse the LM3480 device in a new application whose operational temp range could be as low as -55C. The datasheet reports that the operating temp range is -40C. What will happen to the device if we try and operate at -55C? I noticed a post similar to this for a similar device (LP2951) but not sure the response is applicable to the LM3480.

Any insight as to what might happen is greatly appreciated!

  • There was no performance characterization done at any tempertures below -40C, so I have no specific information.

    All I can offer is my ~best guess~ that the LM3480 will continue to function and any tempco seen from zeroC to -40C will probably continue on similar slope(s) down to -55C.
