Juan:

 

I do not know how you can be concerned with storage temperatures of -60°C when you have just soldered a PCB with temperatures of from two to a a few hundred degrees! It seems to me that the stress of soldering would vastly exceed those of a low storage temperature. The thermal excursions of soldering considerably exceed those of the storage situation.

John,

I also take issue with the -60C minimum power-down temperature.  I think this is unrealistic just from a CTE mismatch perspective.  The reliability of anything subjected to that wide a temperature spread is going to suffer.  A way must be found to raise that temperature.
