*As
per JEDEC51 Standard (multilayer board).
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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 for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1:
LX_ has internal clamp diodes for PGND_ and PV_. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to
exceed the IC’s package power-dissipation limits.
