APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
Example: with V
Total power dissipation is:
Thermal resistance for the LT3434 package is influenced
by the presence of internal or backside planes. With a full
plane under the FE16 package, thermal resistance will be
about 45°C/W. No plane will increase resistance to about
150°C/W. To calculate die temperature, use the proper
thermal resistance number for the desired package and
add in worst-case ambient temperature:
With the FE16 package (Q

Input Voltage vs Operating Frequency Considerations
The absolute maximum input supply voltage for the LT3434
is specified at 60V. This is based solely on internal semi-
conductor junction breakdown effects. Due to internal
power dissipation the actual maximum V
particular application may be less than this.
A detailed theoretical basis for estimating internal power
loss is given in the section Thermal Considerations. Note
that AC switching loss is proportional to both operating
frequency and output current. The majority of AC switch-
ing loss is also proportional to the square of input voltage.
For example, while the combination of V

ing increase in internal dissipation is of insufficient time
duration to raise die temperature significantly.
A second consideration is controllability. A potential limi-
tation occurs with a high step-down ratio of V
as this requires a correspondingly narrow minimum switch
on time. An approximate expression for this (assuming
continuous mode operation) is given as follows:
where:
A potential controllability problem arises if the LT3434 is
called upon to produce an on time shorter than its typical
value of 250ns. Feedback loop action will lower then

FREQUENCY COMPENSATION
Before starting on the theoretical analysis of frequency
response the following should be remembered—the worse
the board layout, the more difficult the circuit will be to
stabilize. This is true of almost all high frequency analog
circuits. Read the Layout Considerations section first.
Common layout errors that appear as stability problems
are distant placement of input decoupling capacitor and/or

siderations section offers a basis to estimate internal
power. In questionable cases a prototype supply should
be built and exercised to verify acceptable operation.
