(1) Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical characteristic specifications do not
apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.

(1) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. See Thermal Properties for the thermal resistance. The maximum allowable power
dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) – TA)/θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature.
(2) Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set
forth in the JEDEC standard JESD51-7. The test board is a 4 layer FR-4 board measuring 102 mm x 76 mm x 1.6 mm with a 2 x 1 array
of thermal vias. The ground plane on the board is 50 mm x 50 mm. Thickness of copper layers are 36 µm/18 µm/18 µm/36 µm (1.5 oz/1
oz/1 oz/1.5 oz). Ambient temperature in simulation is 22°C, still air. Power dissipation is 1W. In applications where high maximum power
dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues. For more information on these topics, please refer to
Application Note 1187: Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) and the Layout Guidelines section of this datasheet.

Limits in standard typeface are for TJ = 25°C. Limits in bold typeface apply over the full operating junction temperature range
(−40°C ≤ TJ ≤ +125°C). Unless otherwise specified: VIN = 3.6V.

(1) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
(2) Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the
most likely norm.
(3) The Power Switch Current Limit is tested in open loop configuration. For closed loop application current limit please see the Current
Limit vs Temperature performance graph.
(4) The on threshold indicates that the LM3557 is no longer switching or regulating LED current, while the off threshold indicates normal
operation.
(5) Current flows into the pin.
(6) Feedback pin voltage is with respect to the voltage at the Sw2 pin.
