Electrical Characteristics
(contd)
Electrical characteristics are guaranteed over full junction temperature range (0 to 105C). Ambient temperature must be derated
based on power dissipation and package thermal characteristics. The conditions are: V
CC
= 15 V, R
T
= 10 k, and C
T
= 3.3 nF, unless
otherwise stated. To override UVLO, V
CC
should be raised above 17 V prior to test.

Notes:
1. This parameter is not 100% tested in production.
2. Parameter measured at trip point of PWM latch.
3. Transfer gain is the relationship between current sense input and corresponding error amplifier output at the PWM latch trip point
and is mathematically expressed as follows:
4. At the over-temperature threshold, T
OT
, the oscillator is disabled. The 5 V reference and the PWM stages, including the PWM latch,
remain powered.
