The failure rate of semiconductor devices is greatly increased as operating temperatures
increase. As shown in Figure 2, the internal thermal stress on a device is the sum of the ambient
temperature and the temperature rise due to power dissipation in the device. Therefore, to
achieve optimum reliability, observe the following precautions concerning thermal design:
(1) Keep the ambient temperature (Ta) as low as possible.
(2) If the device’s dynamic power dissipation is relatively large, select the most appropriate
(3) Derate the device’s absolute maximum ratings to minimize thermal stress from power
When connecting inputs and outputs between devices, make sure input voltage (V

connecting devices operating at different supply voltages, such as in a dual-power-supply system,
be aware that erroneous power-on and power-off sequences can result in device breakdown. For
details of how to interface particular devices, consult the relevant technical datasheets and
databooks. If you have any questions or doubts about interfacing, contact your nearest Toshiba
office or distributor.

measures will help lower the thermal resistance of the package.
