Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LTC1879E is guaranteed to meet specified performance 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 3: T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC1879: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
× 140°C/W)
Note 4: The LTC1879 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to the
balance point for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 1.2V)
Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 6: 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.
