LT3478/LT3478-1 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICSNote 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings temperature will exceed 125°C when over-temperature protection is active. may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Continuous operation above the specifi ed maximum operating junction Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device temperature may impair device reliability. reliability and lifetime.

Specifi cations over Note 5: The maximum operational voltage for VIN is limited by thermal and the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by effi ciency considerations. Power switch base current is delivered from VIN design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. and should therefore be driven from the lowest available power supply in The LT3478IFE/LT3478IFE-1 are guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C the system. See “Thermal Calculations” in the Applications Information operating junction temperature range. section. Note 3: This IC includes over-temperature protection that is intended Note 6: For LT3478, parameter scales • (RSENSE/0.1Ω). to protect the device during momentary overload conditions.
