The maximum operating frequency of the LTC4440 is 100 kHz, but it can be optimized for higher frequencies with proper layout and component selection.
To optimize the layout, keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC, use a solid ground plane, and minimize the length of the traces between the IC and the capacitors.
The recommended input capacitor value is 10uF to 22uF, but the optimal value depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and desired ripple current.
The LTC4440 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the maximum junction temperature should not exceed 150°C. Ensure proper thermal design and heat sinking to maintain a safe operating temperature.
The output voltage of the LTC4440 is determined by the resistive divider network connected to the FB pin. Use the formula: Vout = (R1/R2) * (1 + R3/R4) * Vin, where R1, R2, R3, and R4 are the resistors in the divider network.
