<p>An <b>operating temperature</b> is the allowable <a href="Temperature" title="Temperature">temperature</a> range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies on the basis of the device's function and application context, and ranges from the <b>minimum operating temperature</b> to the <b>maximum operating temperature</b> (or <b>peak operating temperature</b>).

<p>Most semiconductor devices are manufactured in several temperature grades. Broadly accepted grades<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> are:
</p>
<ul><li>Commercial: 0 °C to 70 °C (32 to 158 °F)</li>
<li>Industrial: −40 °C to 85 °C (−40 to 185 °F)</li>
<li>Military: −55 °C to 125 °C (−67 to 257 °F)</li></ul>
<p>Nevertheless, each manufacturer defines its own temperature grades so designers must pay attention to <a href="Datasheet" title="Datasheet">datasheet</a> specifications. For example, <a href="Maxim_Integrated" title="Maxim Integrated">Maxim Integrated</a> uses five temperature grades for its products:<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<ul><li>Full Military: −55 °C to 125 °C (−67 to 257 °F)</li>
<li>Automotive: −25 °C to 125 °C (−13 to 257 °F)</li>
<li>AEC-Q100 Level 2: −40 °C to 105 °C (−40 to 221 °F)</li>
<li>Extended Industrial: −40 °C to 85 °C (−40 to 185 °F)</li>
<li>Industrial: −20 °C to 85 °C (−4 to 185 °F)</li></ul>
<p>The use of such grades ensures that a device is suitable for its application, and will withstand the environmental conditions in which it is used. Normal operating temperature ranges are affected by several factors, such as the power dissipation of the device.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEAnalog_Devices_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnalog_Devices-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These factors are used to define a "threshold temperature" of a device, i.e. its maximum normal operating temperature, and a maximum operating temperature beyond which the device will no longer function. Between these two temperatures, the device will operate at a non-peak level.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEAnalog_DevicesPower_dissipation_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnalog_DevicesPower_dissipation-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For instance, a <a href="Resistor" title="Resistor">resistor</a> may have a threshold temperature of 70 °C (158 °F) and a maximum temperature of 155 °C (311 °F), between which it exhibits a thermal <a href="Derating" title="Derating">derating</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEAnalog_Devices_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnalog_Devices-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
