The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating junction temperature range, otherwise specifications are at T A = 25°C (Note 2). V AUX = V OUT = 3.3V , V LDO = 2.2V , V IN = 0.6V , unless otherwise noted.

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 2: The LTC3105 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T J ≈ T A . The L TC3105E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the -40°C to 85°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. 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 factors.

Note 3: Current measurements are performed when the LTC3105 is not switching. The current limit values measured in operation will be somewhat higher due to the propagation delay of the comparators.

Note 4: This IC includes over temperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability.

Note 5: The LTC3105 has been optimized for use with high impedance power sources such as photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric generators. The input start-up voltage is measured using an input voltage source with a series resistance of approximately 200mΩ and MPPC enabled. Use of the LTC3105 with lower resistance voltage sources or with MPPC disabled may result in a higher input start-up voltage.
