Note 3: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 4: Voltage transients on the switch pins beyond the DC limit specified
in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, are non disruptive to normal operation
when using good layout practices, as shown on the demo board or
described in the data sheet and application notes.
Note 5: I
OUT
current is tested in a non-switching DC state. In a switching
environment I
OUT
accuracy may exhibit variation with factors such as
switching frequency, load current, input/output voltage, and temperature.
See typical performance characteristic curves for predicted variation.
Note 6: The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• q
JA
), where q
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal
impedance.
Note 7: SYNC frequency range is tested with a square wave. Operation
with 100ns minimum high or low times is assured by design.
