Note 6: See description of the TRACK/SS pin in the Pin Functions section. Note 2: The LTC3618 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that Note 7: When sourcing current, the average output current is defined TJ ≈ TA. The LTC3618E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications as flowing out of the SW pin. When sinking current, the average output over the 0°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range. Specifications current is defined as flowing into the SW pin. Sinking mode requires the over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are use of forced continuous mode. assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.

Note that the Note 9: Guaranteed by design and correlation to wafer level measurements maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is for QFN packages. determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board Note 10: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended layout, the rated package thermal resistance and other environmental to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction factors. The junction temperature (TJ, in °C) is calculated from the ambient temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. temperature (TA, in °C) and power dissipation (PD, in watts) according to Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction the formula: temperature may impair device reliability or permanently damage the T device. J = TA + (PD • θJA) where θJA (in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
