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: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.

Note 3: The LT3837E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°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 LT3837I is guaranteed to
meet performance specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range.
Note 4: T

Note 5: Supply current does not include gate charge current to the
MOSFETs. See the Applications Information section.
Note 6: Component value range guaranteed by design.
