LTC1877
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The q denotes specifications which apply over the full operating temperature range, otherwise specifications are TA = 25°C.
VIN = 5V unless otherwise specified.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LTC1877 is guaranteed to meet specified performance from 0°C
to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls.
Note 3: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power
dissipation PD according to the following formulas:
LTC1877EMS8: TJ = TA + (PD)(150°C/W)
Note 4: The LTC1877 is tested in a feedback loop which servos VFB to the
balance point for the error amplifier (VITH = 1.2V).
Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
