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 LTM4601AE/LTM4601AE-1 are guaranteed to meet
performance specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the
–40°C to 85°C operating temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTM4601AI/LTM4601AI-1 are guaranteed and tested over the –40°C to
85°C temperature range.
Note 3:
Remote sense amplifier recommended for ≤3.3V output.
Note 4:
100% tested at wafer level only.
Note 5:
