LTC3608
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power
dissipation PD as follows:
LTC3608: TJ = TA + (PD • 29°C/W)(θJA is simulated per JESD51-7 high
effective thermal conductivity test board)
θJC = 1°C/W (θJC is simulated when heat sink is applied at the bottom
of the package.)
Note 3: The LTC3608 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts VFB to
achieve a specified error amplifier output voltage (ITH). The specification at
85°C is not tested in production. This specification is assured by design,
characterization, and correlation to testing at 125°C.
Note 4: The LTC3608E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3608I is guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
