The LTC3621E is guaranteed to meet specifications from Note 7: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active. characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction LTC3621I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. temperature range, and the LTC3621H is guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C. 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. 3621fc 4 For more information www.linear.com/LTC3621 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Package Description Revision History Typical Application Related Parts
