LTC3109 elecTrical characTerisTics board layout, the rated thermal package thermal resistance and other Note 5: Failure to solder the exposed backside of the QFN package to the environmental factors. The junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from PC board ground plane will result in a thermal resistance much higher the ambient temperature (TA) and power dissipation (PD) according to than 37°C/W. the formula: TJ = TA + (PD • θJA°C/W), where θJA is the package thermal Note 6: The Absolute Maximum Rating is a DC rating. Under certain impedance. conditions in the applications shown, the peak AC voltage on the C2A and Note 3: Specification is guaranteed by design and not 100% tested in C2B pins may exceed ±8V. This behavior is normal and acceptable because production. the current into the pin is limited by the impedance of the coupling Note 4: Current measurements are made when the output is not switching. capacitor.
