APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

PCB Layout

The high integration of the LTM2882 makes PCB layout

very simple. However, to optimize its electrical isolation

characteristics, EMI, and thermal performance, some lay-

out considerations are necessary. Figure 7 is a suggested

layout for good thermal performance and to optimize

isolation characteristics.

• Under heavily loaded conditions, the current in VCC and

GND can exceed 300mA. PCB copper must be made

wide enough in these paths to ensure resistive losses

do not cause the supply voltage at the LTM2882 to drop

below the minimum allowed levels. Similarly, the metal

in the VCC2 and GND2 must be wide enough to support

any external load connected.

• Input and output decoupling is not required, since

these components are integrated within the package.

If additional capacitance is used, place as close to the

power and ground terminals as possible to minimize

high frequency noise. For EMI sensitive applications,

an additional low ESR capacitance of 6.8μF to 22μF is

recommended from VCC to GND.

• Do not place copper on the PCB between the inner col-

umns of pads. This area must remain open to withstand

the rated isolation voltage. The PCB may also be slotted

in this area to facilitate cleaning and ensure contamina-

tion does not compromise the isolation voltage.

• The recommended layout of Figure 7 shows copper

planes for GND and GND2, which is good practice to

optimize signal ﬁdelity and minimize emissions on either

side of the isolation boundary. However, this creates a

dipole antenna which can radiate differential voltages

formed between GND and GND2. A small capacitance

(<200pF) from GND to GND2, either discrete or embed-

ded within the substrate, provides a low impedance

path minimizing the high frequency differential voltages

and substantially reducing radiated emissions. Care

should be exercised in applying these techniques to

insure the voltage rating of the isolation barrier is not

compromised.
