# Industrial Specification: Output Decoder

## 1. Technical Definition
A logic component that converts encoded state signals into specific output commands or signals.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **3.3-5.0 VDC input voltage, 0-100 mA output current, -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Input voltage exceeding 5.5 VDC causes CMOS latch-up, output current exceeding 120 mA induces thermal runaway, temperature exceeding 125°C initiates silicon junction breakdown**, Mechanism: **CMOS latch-up due to parasitic thyristor activation from voltage transients exceeding 5.5 VDC, thermal runaway from excessive current density (&gt;10^6 A/cm²) in output transistors, electromigration failure at conductor current densities exceeding 10^5 A/cm²**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
