Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental factors. TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power dissipation PD according to the following formula: TJ = TA + (PD • 43˚C/W) 3874fb 4 For more information www.linear.com/LTC3874 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Functional Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Package Description Typical Application Related Parts Features Applications Typical Application Description Absolute Maximum Ratings Order Information Pin Configuration Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Functional Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Package Description Revision History Typical Application Related Parts
