ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The l denotes the specifications which apply over the specified operating
junction temperature range, otherwise specifications are at T
A
= 25°C, VBIAS = 12V, unless otherwise noted (Note 2).
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 LTC3769 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3769E 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
LTC3769I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range, the LTC3769H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C
operating temperature range and the LTC3769MP is tested and guaranteed
over the full –55°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
= 47°C/W for the QFN package
and θ
JA
= 38°C/W for the TSSOP package.
Note 3: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage
the device.
Note 4: The LTC3769 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
output of the error amplifier while maintaining I
TH
at the midpoint of the
current limit range.
Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 6: Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 7: See Minimum On-Time Considerations in the Applications
Information section.
