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 LTC3370 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T_J ≈ T_A. The LTC3370E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 85°C 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
LTC3370I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LTC3370H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C
operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade
operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures
greater than 125°C. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors. The junction temperature
(T_J in °C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T_A in °C) and power
dissipation (P_D in Watts) according to the formula:
T_J = T_A + (P_D • θ_JA)
where θ_JA (in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
Note 3: The LTC3370 includes overtemperature protection which protects
the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperatures
will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature
may impair device reliability.
Note 4: Static current, switches not switching. Actual current may be
higher due to gate charge losses at the switching frequency.
Note 5: The current limit features of this part are intended to protect the
IC from short term or intermittent fault conditions. Continuous operation
above the maximum specified pin current rating may result in device
degradation over time.
