Note_1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
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 in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note_2:
Operation at voltages outside the 5.5V to 18V range is guaranteed, but some parameters may be out of specification.
Note_3:
Not production tested.
Note_4:
The MAX16920BATJ/V+ with spread-spectrum disabled has a typical switching frequency of 2.2MHz, while the
MAX16920BATJS/V+ is centered at 2.025MHz typically.
