Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated
in the Electrical Specification section of this specification is not implied.
Configuration File
The digital control circuit in this module uses a configuration file which determines the functionality and performance of the
product. The Standard configuration is designed to fit most application needs and the Electrical Specification table shows
parameter values of functionality and performance with the Standard configuration, unless otherwise specified. Changes
in Standard configuration might be required to optimize performance in specific applications. Changes to the Standard
configuration are required for current sharing operation.

1. Value refers to total (internal + external) effective output capacitance. Capacitance derating with VO typical for ceramic capacitors (bias characteristics) and
temperature variations must be considered for the external capacitor(s). See section External Output Capacitors.
2. There are configuration changes to consider when changing the switching frequency, see section Switching Frequency.
3. The specified accuracy applies for off delay times larger than 4 ms. A value of 0 ms can be set to guarantee a fast shut-off, but this will force the device to
Immediate Off behavior, even if soft-off, i.e. ramp-down, is configured. When setting 0 ms the actual delay will be 0 ms.
