LTC1879 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS The ● denotes specifications which apply over the full operating temperature range, otherwise specifications are TA = 25 ° C. VIN = 5V unless otherwise noted.SYMBOLPARAMETERCONDITIONSMINTYPMAXUNITS VRUN RUN Threshold VRUN Ramping Up ● 0.2 0.7 1.5 V IRUN RUN Input Current VRUN = 0V ±0.01 ±1 µA Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life Note 4: The LTC1879 is tested in a feedback loop which servos VFB to the of a device may be impaired. balance point for the error amplifier (VITH = 1.2V) Note 2: The LTC1879E is guaranteed to meet specified performance from Note 5: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating ambient delivered at the switching frequency. temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation Note 6: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to with statistical process controls. protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction Note 3: TJ is calculated from the ambient temperature TA and power temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. dissipation PD according to the following formula: Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction LTC1879: T temperature may impair device reliability.
