† Pulse-testing techniques are used to maintain the junction temperature as close to the ambient temperature as possible. Thermal effects must

be taken into account separately. All characteristics are measured with a 2-

µF capacitor across the input and a 1-µF capacitor across the output.

‡ This specification applies only for dc power dissipation permitted by absolute maximum ratings.
