7.3 Recommended Operating Conditions

Over the recommended operating junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C (unless otherwise noted) (1)
MIN NOM MAX UNIT
Input voltage Input voltage range after start-up 4.2 80 V
Input voltage EN to PGND VIN V
Input voltage RT to PGND 5 V
Input voltage PGOOD to PGND 20 V
Output voltage SW to PGND 80 V
Output voltage Output voltage range for adjustable version (2) 1 75 V
Frequency Frequency adjustment range 200 2200 kHz
Sync frequency Synchronization frequency range 300 2100 kHz
Load current Output DC current range LMR38020(3) 0 2 A
Temperature Operating junction temperature TJ range (4) –40 150 °C
(1) Recommended operating conditions indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For compliant specifications, see Electrical Characteristics table.
(2) Under no conditions should the output voltage be allowed to fall below zero volts.
(3) Maximum continuous DC current may be derated when operating with high switching frequency and/or high ambient temperature. See Application section for details.
(4) High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes.  Operating lifetime is de-rated for junction temperatures greater than 150℃.
