The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT3477IUF is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it's essential to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines, including the use of a suitable output capacitor and a low-ESR input capacitor.
The LT3477IUF is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's essential to consider the thermal design and ensure that the device is properly heat-sinked to prevent overheating.
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the formula: ΔVout = (Iout * ESL) / (Cout * fsw), where Iout is the output current, ESL is the equivalent series inductance of the output capacitor, Cout is the output capacitance, and fsw is the switching frequency.
The recommended PCB layout for the LT3477IUF involves keeping the input and output capacitors close to the device, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the length of the traces to reduce noise and EMI.
