reduces quiescent current to 25µA, ensuring high efficiency
across the entire load range. An internal soft-start limits
inrush current during start-up.
Other features include a <1µA shutdown current and ro-
bust protection under short-circuit, thermal overload, and
output overvoltage conditions. The LTC3122 is offered in
both a low profile 12-lead (3mm × 4mm × 0.75 mm) DFN
package and a 12-lead thermally enhanced MSOP package.

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:
Voltage transients on the SW pin beyond the DC limit specified in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings are non-disruptive to normal operations
when using good layout practices, as shown on the demo board or
described in the data sheet or application notes.
Note 3:
The LTC3122 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
A
≈ T
J
. The LTC3122E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3122I is guaranteed
to meet specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LTC3122H is guaranteed to meet specifications
over the full –40°C to 150°C operating junction range. The junction
temperature (T
J
in °C) is calculated from the ambient temperature (T
A
in
°C) and power dissipation (P
D
in Watts) according to the formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
) where
θ
JA
is the thermal impedance of the package.
Note 4:
The LTC3122 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature shutdown is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 5:
Failure to solder the exposed backside of the package to the PC
board ground plane will result in a thermal impedance much higher than
the rated package specifications.
