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 LTC3856 is tested under pulse load conditions such that
T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC3856E 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 LTC3856I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the
full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature, T
A
, and power
dissipation, P
D
, according to the following formula:
LTC3856UH: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 34°C/W)
LTC3856FE: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 25°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC3856 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
FB
.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See the Applications Information
section.
Note 6:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 7:
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).
