CT310 · Rev. 0.6
CT310 www.crocus-technology.com

Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the CT310 and may not function or be operable above the
recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addition, extended exposure
to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The absolute maximum ratings are
stress ratings only.

(1) RoHS is defined as semiconductor products that are compliant to the current EU RoHS requirements. It also will meet the
requirement that RoHS substances do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Green is defined as the content
of Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br) and Antimony Trioxide based flame retardants satisfy JS709B low halogen requirements of ≤ 1,000
ppm.
(2) MSL Rating = Moisture Sensitivity Level Rating as defined by JEDEC standard classifications.
(3) Package will withstand ambient temperature range of -40°C to +150°C and storage temperature range of -65°C to +165°C.
(4) Device Marking for TSSOP is defined as CT310LS-XT8 YYWWSS where CT310LS = base part number, X = temperature code,
T8 = TSSOP-8 package, YY = year, WW = work week and SS = sequential number. DFN is defined as 300X where X =
temperature code and Y = year, WW = work week and S = sequential number.
