Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those
indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions may affect device reliability.
Note 2. θJA is measured under natural convection (still air) at TA = 25°C with the component mounted on a high effective-
thermal-conductivity four-layer test board on a JEDEC 51-7 thermal measurement standard. θJC is measured at the
exposed pad of the package.
Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4. The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 5. Min. SVC frequency defined in electrical spec. is related with different application. As min. SVC < 1MHz, VR can't support
telemetry reporting function. As min. SVC < 400kHz, VR can't support telemetry reporting function and VOTF complete
function.

For continuous operation, the maximum operating junction
temperature indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is 125°C. The junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, is highly package dependent. For a
WQFN-52L 6x6 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
26.5°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 high effective-thermal-
conductivity four-layer test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated as below :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (26.5°C/W) = 3.77W for a
WQFN-52L 6x6 package.
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for the fixed TJ(MAX) and the thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 24 allows
the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
