Note 2: DC Electrical Test; refer to Test Circuit #1.
Note 3: AC Electrical Test; refer to Test Circuit #2.
Note 4: All voltages are measured with respect to the GND pin (pin 7), unless otherwise specified.
Note 5: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which
guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit
is given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 6: For operating at case temperatures above 25C, the device must be derated based on a 150C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of
θJC = 1.0 C/W (junction to case). Refer to the Thermal Resistance figure in the Application Information section under Thermal Considerations.
Note 7: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 k
resistor.
Note 8: The operating junction temperature maximum is 150C, however, the instantaneous Safe Operating Area temperature is 250C.
Note 9: Typicals are measured at 25C and represent the parametric norm.
Note 10: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 11: The LM3876T package TA11B is a non-isolated package, setting the tab of the device and the heat sink at V potential when the LM3876 is directly
mounted to the heat sink using only thermal compound. If a mica washer is used in addition to thermal compound,
θCS (case to sink) is increased, but the heat sink
will be isolated from V.
Note 12: The feedback compensation network limits the bandwidth of the closed-loop response and so the slew rate will be reduced due to the high frequency
roll-off. Without feedback compensation, the slew rate is typically 16V/s.
Note 13: V must have at least 9V at its pin with reference to ground in order for the under-voltage protection circuitry to be disabled.
Note 14: The output dropout voltage is the supply voltage minus the clipping voltage. Refer to the Clipping Voltage vs Supply Voltage graph in the Typical Perfor-
mance Characteristics section.
