Hello,
This set of questions may have no definitive answer, but I was wondering about how critical the -40 degrees C operational lower condition is and what possible consequences there are in operating the LM5118 below -40 deg C.
For example, if the LM5118 circuit/IC is stored and subsequently operated at some temperature between -55 deg C (minimum specified storage temperature) and -40 degC, what kind of behaviors might occur? Could the entire regulator/controller completely fail to startup? Or would it be expected to basically be functional but just have certain parameters that fall somewhere close, but outside, the ranges specified in the Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet?
Thanks.
