Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation
of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions,
see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2: Electrical Characteristic table reflects open loop data (FB = 0V and current drawn from SW pin ramped up until cycle by cycle current limits is activated).
Closed loop current limit is the peak inductor current measured in the application circuit by increasing output current until output voltage drops by 10%.
Note 3: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be
derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125ºC), the maximum power
dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the
following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).
Note 4: The Human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin. MIL-STD-883 3015.7
Note 5: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set forth in the
JEDEC standard JESD51-7. The test board is a 4-layer FR-4 board measuring 101.6mm x 76.2mm x 1.6mm. Thickness of the copper layers are 2oz/1oz/1oz/
2oz. The middle layer of the board is 60mm x 60mm. Ambient temperature in simulation is 22°C, still air.
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, special
care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.
Note 6: All voltage is with respect to SGND.
Note 7: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the most likely norm.
Note 8: CIN and COUT: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics.
