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: Minimum operating V voltage required for the VLDO regulators
to stay in regulation is:

Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.

the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LTC3446I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Note that the
maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is
determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental

for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range must be
