LT3501 elecTrical characTerisTicsNote 4: An internal power-on reset (POR) latch is set on the positive current flowing from the IND pin to the VOUT pin which resets the switch transition of the SHDN pin through its threshold. The output of the latch latch when the VC pin is at its high clamp. activates current sources on each SS pin which typically sink 1.5mA, Note 7: This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to discharging the SS capacitor. The latch is reset when both SS pins are guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch. driven below the soft-start POR threshold or the SHDN pin is taken below Note 8: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended its threshold. to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction Note 5: To enhance dropout operation, the output switch will be turned off temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. for the minimum off-time only when the voltage across the boost capacitor Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction drops below the minimum boost for 100% duty cycle threshold. temperature may impair device reliability.
