ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 5: The minimum on-time condition corresponds to the on inductor
peak-to-peak ripple current ≥40% of I
MAX
(see Minimum On-Time
Considerations in the Applications Information section).
Note 6: The LTC3729LEUH-6 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating ambient temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 34°C/W)
Note 3: The I.C. is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
ITH
to a specified
voltage and measures the resultant V
EAIN
.
