The maximum input voltage that the LTC3630 can handle is 40V, but it's recommended to keep it below 36V for reliable operation.
To optimize the inductor selection, consider the inductor's saturation current, DC resistance, and core material. A good starting point is to choose an inductor with a saturation current rating of at least 1.5 times the maximum output current, and a DC resistance of less than 100mΩ.
The SYNC pin is used to synchronize the switching frequency of multiple LTC3630 devices in a system, ensuring that they operate in phase and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
To configure the LTC3630 for a specific output voltage, use the FB pin and a resistive divider network to set the output voltage. The FB pin is connected to the output voltage through a resistive divider, and the output voltage is set by adjusting the ratio of the resistors.
The maximum output current that the LTC3630 can deliver is 3A, but it's recommended to derate the output current based on the input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature.
