APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PCB Layout
Most of the headaches associated with PCB layout have
been alleviated or even eliminated by the high level of
LTM8061 integration. The LTM8061 is nevertheless
a switching power supply, and care must be taken to
minimize EMI and ensure proper operation. Even with the
high level of integration, you may fail to achieve specified
operation with a haphazard or poor layout. See Figure 8
for a suggested layout. Ensure that the grounding and
heat sinking are acceptable.

Hot-Plugging Safely
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input
bypass capacitor of LTM8061. However, these capacitors
can cause problems if the LTM8061 is plugged into a live
input supply (see Application Note 88 for a complete dis-
cussion). The low loss ceramic capacitor combined with
stray inductance in series with the power source forms an
underdamped tank circuit, and the voltage at the V

per area to the board’s internal ground planes. Liberally
distribute these GND vias to provide both a good ground
connection and thermal path to the internal planes of the
printed circuit board. Pay attention to the location and
density of the thermal vias in Figure 8. The LTM8061
can benefit from the heat-sinking afforded by vias that
connect to internal GND planes at these locations, due to
their proximity to internal power handling components.
The optimum number of thermal vias depends upon
the printed circuit board design. For example, a board
might use very small via holes. It should employ more
thermal vias than a board that uses larger holes.
