Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1: The THS6012 incorporates a PowerPad on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heatsink and must be connected to a thermal
dissipation plane for proper power dissipation. Failure to do so can result in exceeding the maximum junction temperature, which could
permanently damage the device. See the Thermal Informationsection of this document for more information about PowerPad
technology.
