The junction temperature TJ may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power dissipation PD Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device according to the following formula: reliability and lifetime. TJ = TA + (PD • 46.9°C/W) Note 2: The LTC3870-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that Note 3: When VIN >15V, EXTVCC is recommended to reduce IC Temperature. TJ ≈ TA. The LTC3870E-1 is guaranteed to meet specifications from Note 4: Output voltage is set and controlled by the master controller in 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to multiphase operations. 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The Note 5: The minimum on-time condition corresponds to an inductor LTC3870I-1 is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating peak-to-peak ripple current ≥40% of IMAX (see Minimum On-Time junction temperature range.
