Thermal Considerations
The LTC3631 does not dissipate much heat due to its high
efficiency and low peak current level. Even in worst-case
conditions (high ambient temperature, maximum peak
current and high duty cycle), the junction temperature will
exceed ambient temperature by only a few degrees.
Design Example
As a design example, consider using the LTC3631 in an
application with the following specifications: V

OUT
The gate charge current results from switching the gate
capacitance of the internal power MOSFET switches.
Each time the gate is switched from high to low to
high again, a packet of charge, dQ, moves from V
ground. The resulting dQ/dt is the current out of V
that is typically larger than the DC bias current.
internal switches, R
switching, the average output current flowing through
the inductor is “chopped” between the high side PMOS
switch and the low side NMOS switch. Thus, the series
resistance looking back into the switch pin is a function

A 9.7µF capacitor gives this typical output voltage ripple at
