Finally, keep the FB and V
traces will shield them from the SW and BOOST nodes.
The Exposed Pad on the bottom of the package must be
soldered to ground so that the pad acts as a heat sink. To
keep thermal resistance low, extend the ground plane as
much as possible, and add thermal vias under and near
the LT3480 to additional ground planes within the circuit
board and on the bottom side.
Hot Plugging Safely
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input
bypass capacitor of LT3480 circuits. However, these capaci-
tors can cause problems if the LT3480 is plugged into a
live supply (see Linear Technology Application Note 88 for
a complete discussion). The low loss ceramic capacitor,
combined with stray inductance in series with the power
