LTC3717EGN#PBF datasheet by Linear Technology

LTC3717EGN#PBF Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the LTC3717EGN can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the LTC3717EGN can handle is 36V, but it's recommended to keep it below 30V for reliable operation.
• How do I optimize the layout for the LTC3717EGN to minimize EMI?
  To minimize EMI, it's recommended to keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC, use a solid ground plane, and keep the high-frequency switching nodes (e.g. SW node) away from sensitive analog nodes.
• What is the recommended PCB footprint for the LTC3717EGN?
  The recommended PCB footprint for the LTC3717EGN is a 28-pin QFN package with a 4mm x 5mm body size and 0.5mm pin pitch. A thermal pad is recommended for heat dissipation.
• How do I select the right inductor for the LTC3717EGN?
  To select the right inductor, consider the maximum current rating, inductance value, and DC resistance. A good starting point is to use an inductor with a value between 1uH to 10uH and a current rating of at least 2A.
• What is the purpose of the SYNC pin on the LTC3717EGN?
  The SYNC pin is used to synchronize the switching frequency of multiple LTC3717EGN devices in a system, allowing for reduced EMI and improved system performance.
