High junction exceeds the maximum operating junction temperature when temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is degraded at overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the junction temperatures greater than 125°C. specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. Note 3: Minimum load current is equivalent to the quiescent current of the part. Since all quiescent and drive current is delivered to the output Note 9: The TEMP pin output current represents the average die junction of the part, the minimum load current is the minimum current required to temperature. Due to power dissipation and thermal gradients across the maintain regulation. die, the TEMP pin output current measurement does not guarantee that absolute maximum junction temperature is not exceeded. 3081fc 4 For more information www.linear.com/LT3081 Document Outline Features Applications Typical Application Description Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Applications Information Typical Applications Package Description Revision History Typical Application Related Parts
