1940fa
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LT1940E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.

Note 3: Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at high duty cycle.
Note 4: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
