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 LTC3836 is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.
Note 3: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power dissi-
pation PD according to the following formula: TJ = TA + (PD • θJA°C/W)
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5: The LTC3836 is tested in a feedback loop that servos ITH to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant VFB voltage.
Note 6: Peak current sense voltage is reduced dependent on duty cycle to
a percentage of value as shown in Figure 1.
