Safety Considerations

The LTM4604 modules do not provide isolation from VIN to

VOUT. There is no internal fuse. If required, a slow blow fuse

with a rating twice the maximum input current needs to be

provided to protect each unit from catastrophic failure.

Layout Checklist/Example

The high integration of LTM4604 makes the PCB board

layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its electri-

cal and thermal performance, some layout considerations

are still necessary.

• Use large PCB copper areas for high current path,

including VIN, GND and VOUT. It helps to minimize the

PCB conduction loss and thermal stress.

• Place high frequency ceramic input and output capacitors

next to the VIN, GND and VOUT pins to minimize high

frequency noise.

• Place a dedicated power ground layer underneath the

unit.

• To minimize the via conduction loss and reduce module

thermal stress, use multiple vias for interconnection

between top layer and other power layers.

• Do not put vias directly on the pads unless they are

capped.

• SW pads can be soldered to board to improve thermal

performance.

Figure14 gives a good example of the recommended

layout.
