LTC3376
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 3: There will be additional switching current on V
Note 4: Total System current is defined as total current from V + V

0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3376I is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater
than 125°C. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent
with these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions
