ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The l denotes the specifications which apply over the specified operating
junction temperature range, otherwise specifications are at T
A
= 25°C. V
IN
= 15V unless otherwise noted. (Note 3)
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
LTC3876UHF: T
J
= T

• 34°C/W)
LTC3876FE: T

Note 3: The LTC3876 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3876E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3876I is
guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the full –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range. The maximum ambient
temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific
operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 4: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum
rated junction temperature will be exceeded when this protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating
junction temperature may impair the device reliability or permanently
damage the device.
Note 5: The LTC3876 is tested in a feedback loop that adjusts

) and VTTSNS to achieve specified error
amplifier output voltages (ITH1,2).
Note 6: Delay times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 7: In order to simplify the total system error computation, the
regulated voltage is defined in one combined specification which includes
the effects of line, load and common mode variation. The combined
regulated voltage specification is tested by independently varying line,
load, and common mode, which by design do not significantly affect one
another. For any combination of line, load, and common mode variation,
the regulated voltage should be within the limits specified that are tested in
production to the following conditions:
a. Line: V
