Thermal Characteristics
This device contains circuitry protecting against damage that high-static voltage or electrical fields cause;
however, Freescale recommends taking normal precautions to avoid application of any voltages higher
than maximum-rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if
unused inputs are tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (for example, either GND or V
DD
).

Junction temperature is a function of on-chip power dissipation, package thermal resistance, mounting site (board)
temperature, ambient temperature, airflow, power dissipation of other components on the board, and board thermal resistance.

Indicates the average thermal resistance between the die and the case top surface as measured by the cold plate method
(MIL SPEC-883 Method 1012.1) with the cold plate temperature used for the case temperature. For exposed pad packages
where the pad would be expected to be soldered, junction-to-case thermal resistance is a simulated value from the junction to
the exposed pad without contact resistance.
