Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3866 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3866E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LTC3866I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the
full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The maximum
ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined
by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the
package thermal impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 3:
The junction temperature, T
J
, is calculated from the ambient
temperature, T
A
, and power dissipation, P
D
, according to the following
formula:
LTC3866FE: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 33°C/W)
LTC3866UF: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 47°C/W)
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the absolute maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage the
device.
Note 5:
The LTC3866 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
FB
.
Note 6:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 7:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 8:
The minimum on-time condition corresponds to the on inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current ≥40% of I
MAX
(see Minimum On-Time
Considerations in the Applications Information section).
