LT3991/LT3991-3.3/LT3991-5 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION performance of the LT3991. The feedback resistors should preferably be on the order of MΩ and the Schottky catch diode should have less than 1µA of typical reverse leak- age at room temperature. These two considerations are ...
Page 11
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Operating Frequency Tradeoffs Selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between efficiency, component size, minimum dropout voltage, and maximum input voltage. The advantage of high frequency operation is that smaller inductor and capacitor values may be used. ...

... If the input supply is poorly controlled or the user will be plugging the LT3991 into an energized supply, the input network should be designed to prevent this overshoot. See Linear Technology Application Note 88 for a complete discussion. High Temperature Considerations For higher ambient temperatures, care should be taken in the layout of the PCB to ensure good heat sinking of the LT3991 ...
