Note 3: For duty cycles (DC) between 50% and 80%, minimum guaranteed
switch current is given by I
LIM
= 6.67 (1.7 – DC) for the LT1270 and I
LIM
=
8.33 (1.7 – DC) for the LT1270A.
Note 4: Minimum current limit is reduced by 0.5A at 125°C. 100°C test
limits are guaranteed by correlation to 125°C tests.
