Note 4:

 Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being

delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.

Note 5:

 The minimum on-time condition corresponds to the on inductor

peak-to-peak ripple current

 (see Minimum On-Time

Considerations in the Applications Information section).

Note 1:

 Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the

life of a device may be impaired.

Note 2:
