LTC7800 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Note 4: The LTC7800 is tested in a feedback loop that servos VITH to a Note 6: Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay specified voltage and measures the resultant VFB. The specification at 85°C times are measured using 50% levels is not tested in production and is assured by design, characterization and Note 7: The minimum on-time condition is specified for an inductor correlation to production testing at other temperatures (125°C for the peak-to-peak ripple current ≥ 40% of IMAX (See Minimum On-Time LTC7800E/LTC7800I and 150°C for the LTC7800H.) Considerations in the Applications Information section). Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being Note 8: Do not apply a voltage or current source to these pins. They must delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information. be connected to capacitive loads only, otherwise permanent damage may occur.
