ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 3: The LTC3676 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: Dropout voltage is defined as (V
IN
– V
LDO1
) for LDO1 or
(V
IN_Lx
– V
LDOx
) for other LDOs when V
LDOx
is 3% lower than V
LDOx
measured with V
IN
= V
IN_Lx
= 4.3V.

Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 6: Soft-Start measured in test mode with regulator error amplifier in
unity-gain mode.
Note 7: The switching regulator PMOS and NMOS on-resistance is
guaranteed by correlation to wafer level measurements.
