The LT3971 can handle input voltages up to 60V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 50V for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure stability, make sure to follow the recommended layout and component selection guidelines in the datasheet, and use a sufficient output capacitor with a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance).
The minimum input voltage required for the LT3971 to operate is 4.5V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage above 5V for optimal performance.
The LT3971 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliability and prevent overheating.
The output voltage ripple can be calculated using the formula: ΔVout = (Iout * ESR) / (fsw * Cout), where Iout is the output current, ESR is the output capacitor's equivalent series resistance, fsw is the switching frequency, and Cout is the output capacitance.
