LTC3855 e lecTrical characTerisTics The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operatingjunction temperature range (E-Grade), otherwise specifications are at TA = 25°C. VIN = 15V, VRUN/SS = 5V unless otherwise noted.

Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being reliability and lifetime. delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information. Note 2: The LTC3855E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications Note 6: Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating times are measured using 50% levels. junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and Note 7: The minimum on-time condition is specified for an inductor correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3855I is guaranteed peak-to-peak ripple current ≥40% of IMAX (see Minimum On-Time to meet performance specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C operating Considerations in the Applications Information section). junction temperature range. Note 8: Guaranteed by design. Note 3: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power dissipation PD according to the following formulas: LTC3855UJ: TJ = TA + (PD • 33°C/W) LTC3855FE: TJ = TA + (PD • 25°C/W) Typical perForMance characTerisTics Efficiency vs Output CurrentEfficiency vs Output CurrentFull Load Efficiency and Powerand Modeand ModeLoss vs Input Voltage 100 100 90 5 90 90 1.8V Burst Mode EFFICIENCY 80 OPERATION 80 Burst Mode OPERATION 70 70 1.2V POWER LOSS (W) 85 4 60 DCM 60 V DCM V 50 IN = 12V IN = 12V V 50 OUT = 1.8V VOUT = 1.2V 1.8V 40 40 EFFICIENCY (%) CCM EFFICIENCY (%) CCM EFFICIENCY (%) 80 POWER LOSS 3 30 30 1.2V 20 20 10 10 CIRCUIT OF FIGURE 19 CIRCUIT OF FIGURE 19 CIRCUIT OF FIGURE 19 0 0 75 2 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 5 10 15 20 LOAD CURRENT (A) LOAD CURRENT (A) INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 3855 G23 3855 G24 3855 G24 3855f Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Functional Block Diagram Operation Applications Information Typical Applications Package Description Related Parts
