LTC3604 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Note 3: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature, TA, and power Note 5: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended dissipation, PD, according to the following formula: to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction T temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. J = TA + (PD • θJA) where θ Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction JA = 45°C/W for the QFN package and θJA = 38°C/W for the MSOP package. temperature may impair device reliability. Note 4: Maximum allowed current draw when used as a regulated output is 5mA. This supply is only intended to provide additional DC load current as needed and not intended to regulate large transient or AC behavior as these waveforms may impact LTC3604 operation.
