For more information 
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may 
cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum 
Rating for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All currents into device pins are positive. All currents out of device 
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground unless otherwise 
specified. If power is supplied to the chip via the V
DD33
 pin only, connect 
V
PWR
 and V
DD33
 pins together.
Note 3: Hysteresis in the output voltage is created by package stress that 
differs depending on whether the IC was previously at a higher or lower 
temperature. Output voltage is always measured at 25°C, but the IC is 
cycled to 105°C or –40°C before successive measurements. Hysteresis is 
roughly proportional to the square of the temperature change. 
Note 4: The time between successive ADC conversions (latency of the 
ADC) for any given channel is given as: 36.9ms + (6.15ms • number of 
ADC channels configured in Low Resolution mode) + (24.6ms • number of 
ADC channels configured in High Resolution mode).
Note 5: Nonlinearity is defined from the first code that is greater than or 
equal to the maximum offset specification to full-scale code, 1023.
Note 6: EEPROM endurance and retention are guaranteed by design, 
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The 
minimum retention specification applies for devices whose EEPROM has 
been cycled less than the minimum endurance specification.

Note 7: The LTC2977 will not acknowledge any PMBus commands except 
for MFR_COMMON, while a mass write operation is being executed. This 
includes the STORE_USER_ALL and MFR_FAULT_LOG_STORE commands 
or a fault log store initiated by a channel faulting off. 
Note 8: Maximum capacitive load, C
B
, for SCL and SDA is 400pF. Data and 
clock rise time (t
r
) and fall time (t
f
) are: (20 + 0.1 • C
B
) (ns) < t
r
 < 300ns and 
(20 + 0.1 • C
B
) (ns) < t
f
 < 300ns. C
B
 = capacitance of one bus line in pF. SCL 
and SDA external pull-up voltage, V
IO
, is 3.13V < V
IO
 < 5.5V. 
Note 9: EEPROM endurance and retention will be degraded when T
J
 > 105°C.
Note 10: Output enable pins are charge-pumped from V
DD33
.
Note 11: The current sense resolution is determined by the L11 format 
and the mV units of the returned value. For example, a full-scale value 
of 170mV returns an L11 value of 0xF2A8 = 680 • 2
–2
 = 170. This is the 
lowest range that can represent this value without overflowing the L11 
mantissa  and the resolution for 1LSB in this range is 2
–2
 mV = 250µV. 
Each successively lower range improves resolution by cutting the LSB size 
in half.
