Temperature grade and environment
Rated for a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, this regulator is built for automotive under-hood and industrial high-temperature environments — engine bays, transmission control units, and factory-floor sensor supplies. The exposed pad on the PG-SSOP-14 package helps conduct heat to the PCB copper plane; a thermal-via pattern under the pad is recommended to keep junction temperature within limits at full load in hot ambient conditions.
Sourcing and lifecycle
ROHS3 compliant. For new designs, this part carries no last-time-buy risk and is a stable BOM line.
