Note 2: The LTC3526LE-2/LTC3526LBE-2 are guaranteed to meet Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction performance specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over –40°C to temperature may result in device degradation or failure. 85°C operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization Note 6: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC and correlation with statistical process controls. board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher than Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in 102°C/W. production.
