LTC3851
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range, otherwise specifications are at TA = 25°C. VIN = 15V, VRUN = 5V unless otherwise noted.

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 LTC3851E is 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 LTC3851I is guaranteed to meet
specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.
Note 3: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power
dissipation PD according to the following formulas:
LTC3851GN: TJ = TA + (PD • 110°C/W)
LTC3851UD: TJ = TA + (PD • 68°C/W)
LTC3851MSE: TJ = TA + (PD • 40°C/W)
Note 4: The LTC3851 is tested in a feedback loop that servos VITH to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant VFB.
Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
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 is specified for an inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current ~40% of IMAX (see Minimum On-Time
Considerations in the Applications Information section).
