The LTM®8068 is a 2kV AC isolated flyback µModule®
(power module) DC/DC converter with LDO post regulator.
Included in the package are the switching controller, power
switches, transformer, LDO, and all support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 2.8V to 40V, the
LTM8068 supports an output voltage range of 2.5V to
18V, set by a single resistor. There is also a linear post
regulator whose output voltage is adjustable from 1.2V
to 18V as set by a single resistor. Only output and input
capacitors are needed to finish the design.

Note 4: The LTM8068E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C internal
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. LTM8068I is guaranteed to meet
specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature
range. Note that the maximum internal temperature is determined by
specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated
package thermal resistance and other environmental factors.
Note 5: VRUN = 0V (Flyback not running), but the VOUT2 post regulator is
powered by applying a voltage to VOUT1.

PIN FUNCTIONS
VOUT1 (Bank 1): VOUT1 and VOUTN comprise the isolated
output of the LTM8068 flyback stage. Apply an external
capacitor between VOUT1 and VOUTN. Do not allow VOUTN
to exceed VOUT1.
VOUTN (Bank 2): VOUTN is the return for both VOUT1 and
VOUT2. VOUT1 and VOUTN comprise the isolated output of
the LTM8068. In most applications, the bulk of the heat
flow out of the LTM8068 is through the GND and VOUTN
pads, so the printed circuit design has a large impact on
the thermal performance of the part. See the PCB Layout
and Thermal Considerations sections for more details.
Apply an external capacitor between VOUT1 and VOUTN.
VOUT2 (Bank 3): The output of the secondary side linear
post regulator. Apply the load and output capacitor between
VOUT2 and VOUTN. See the Applications Information section
for more information on output capacitance and reverse
output characteristics.
GND (Bank 4): This is the local ground of the LTM8068
primary. In most applications, the bulk of the heat flow out
of the LTM8068 is through the GND and VOUTN pads, so
the printed circuit design has a large impact on the thermal
performance of the part. See the PCB Layout and Thermal
Considerations sections for more details.
VIN (Bank 5): VIN supplies current to the LTM8068’s
internal regulator and to the integrated power switch.
These pins must be locally bypassed with an external,
low ESR capacitor.
BYP (Pin B2): The BYP pin is used to bypass the reference of the LDO to achieve low noise performance from
the linear post regulator. The BYP pin is clamped internally
to ±0.6V relative to VOUTN. A small capacitor from VOUT2
to this pin will bypass the reference to lower the output
voltage noise. A maximum value of 0.01µF can be used
for reducing output voltage noise to a typical 20µVRMS
over a 100Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. If not used, this pin
must be left unconnected.
RUN (Pin F3): A resistive divider connected to VIN and this
pin programs the minimum voltage at which the LTM8068
will operate. Below 1.24V, the LTM8068 does not deliver
power to the secondary. When RUN is less than 1.24V, the
pin draws 2.5µA, allowing for a programmable hysteresis.
Do not allow a negative voltage (relative to GND) on this pin.
FB1 (Pin G7): Apply a resistor from this pin to GND to
set the output voltage VOUT1 relative to VOUTN, using the
recommended value given in Table 1. If Table 1 does not
list the desired VOUT1 value, the equation
(
)
RFB1 = 37.415 VOUT1–0.955 kΩ
may be used to approximate the value. To the seasoned
designer, this exponential equation may seem unusual. The
equation is exponential due to nonlinear current sources
that are used to temperature compensate the regulation.
Do not drive this pin.
FB2 (Pin A2): This is the input to the error amplifier of the
secondary side LDO post regulator. This pin is internally
clamped to ±7V. The FB2 pin voltage is 1.22V referenced
to VOUTN and the output voltage range is 1.22V to 12V.
Apply a resistor from this pin to VOUTN, using the equation
RFB2 = 608.78/(VOUT2 – 1.22)kΩ. If the post regulator is
not used, leave this pin floating.

LTM8068
OPERATION
The LTM8068 is a stand-alone isolated flyback switching
DC/DC power supply that can deliver up to 450mA of
output current at 5VOUT1, 24VIN. This module provides a
regulated output voltage programmable via one external
resistor from 2.5V to 18V. It is also equipped with a high
performance linear post regulator. The input voltage range
of the LTM8068 is 2.8V to 40V. Given that the LTM8068
is a flyback converter, the output current depends upon
the input and output voltages, so make sure that the input
voltage is high enough to support the desired output voltage
and load current. The Typical Performance Characteristics
section gives several graphs of the maximum load versus
VIN for several output voltages.
A simplified block diagram is given. The LTM8068 contains
a current mode controller, power switching element, power
transformer, power Schottky diode, a modest amount of
input and output capacitance, and a high performance
linear post regulator.
The LTM8068 has a galvanic primary to secondary isolation
rating of 2kV AC. For details please refer to the Isolation,
Working Voltage and Safely Compliance section. The
LTM8068 is a UL 60950 recognized component.
10
The RUN pin is used to turn on or off the LTM8068, disconnecting the output and reducing the input current to
1μA or less.
The LTM8068 is a variable frequency device. For a given
input and output voltage, the frequency decreases as the
load increases. For light loads, the current through the
internal transformer may be discontinuous.
The post regulator is a high performance 300mA low
dropout regulator with micropower quiescent current and
shutdown. The device is capable of supplying 300mA at
a dropout voltage of 430mV. Output voltage noise can be
lowered to 20µVRMS over a 100Hz to 100kHz bandwidth
with the addition of a 0.01μF reference bypass capacitor.
Additionally, this reference bypass capacitor will improve
transient response of the regulator, lowering the settling
time for transient load conditions. The linear regulator is
protected against both reverse input and reverse output
voltages.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For most applications, the design process is straight
forward, summarized as follows:
1.Look at Table 1a (or Table 1b, if the post linear regulator is used) and find the row that has the desired input
range and output voltage.
2.Apply the recommended CIN, COUT1, COUT2, RFB1 and
RFB2 as required.
While these component combinations have been tested for
proper operation, it is incumbent upon the user to verify
proper operation over the intended system’s line, load and
environmental conditions. Bear in mind that the maximum
output current may be limited by junction temperature,
the relationship between the input and output voltage
magnitude and polarity and other factors. Please refer
to the graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section for guidance.
Capacitor Selection Considerations
The CIN, COUT1 and COUT2 capacitor values in Table 1 are
the minimum recommended values for the associated operating conditions. Applying capacitor values below those
indicated in Table 1 is not recommended, and may result
in undesirable operation. Using larger values is generally
acceptable, and can yield improved dynamic response, if
it is necessary. Again, it is incumbent upon the user to
verify proper operation over the intended system’s line,
load and environmental conditions.
Ceramic capacitors are small, robust and have very low
ESR. However, not all ceramic capacitors are suitable.
X5R and X7R types are stable over temperature and applied voltage and give dependable service. Other types,
including Y5V and Z5U have very large temperature and
voltage coefficients of capacitance. In an application circuit they may have only a small fraction of their nominal
capacitance resulting in much higher output voltage ripple
than expected.
A final precaution regarding ceramic capacitors concerns
the maximum input voltage rating of the LTM8068. A
ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable
inductance forms a high-Q (underdamped) tank circuit. If
the LTM8068 circuit is plugged into a live supply, the input
voltage can ring to much higher than its nominal value,
possibly exceeding the device’s rating. This situation is
easily avoided; see the Hot-Plugging Safely section.

Isolation, Working Voltage and Safety Compliance
The LTM8068 isolation is 100% hi-pot tested by tying
all of the primary pins together, all of the secondary pins
together and subjecting the two resultant circuits to a
high voltage differential for one second. This establishes
the isolation voltage rating of the LTM8068 component.
The isolation rating of the LTM8068 is not the same as
the working or operational voltage that the application
will experience. This is subject to the application’s power
source, operating conditions, the industry where the end
product is used and other factors that dictate design requirements such as the gap between copper planes, traces
and component pins on the printed circuit board, as well
as the type of connector that may be used. To maximize
the allowable working voltage, the LTM8068 has two
columns of solder balls removed to facilitate the printed
circuit board design. The ball to ball pitch is 1.27mm, and
the typical ball diameter is 0.78mm. Accounting for the
missing columns and the ball diameter, the printed circuit
board may be designed for a metal-to-metal separation of
up to 3.03mm. This may have to be reduced somewhat to
allow for tolerances in solder mask or other printed circuit
board design rules. For those situations where information about the spacing of LTM8068 internal circuitry is
required, the minimum metal to metal separation of the
primary and secondary is 0.75mm.
To reiterate, the manufacturer’s isolation voltage rating
and the required working or operational voltage are of-
12
ten different numbers. In the case of the LTM8068, the
isolation voltage rating is established by 100% hi-pot
testing. The working or operational voltage is a function
of the end product and its system level specifications. The
actual required operational voltage is often smaller than
the manufacturer’s isolation rating.
The LTM8068 is a UL recognized component under
UL 60950, file number E464570. The UL 60950 insulation category of the LTM8068 transformer is Functional.
Considering UL 60950 Table 2N and the gap distances
stated above, 3.03mm external and 0.75mm internal,
the LTM8068 may be operated with up to 250V working
voltage in a pollution degree 2 environment. The actual
working voltage, insulation category, pollution degree and
other critical parameters for the specific end application
depend upon the actual environmental, application and
safety compliance requirements. It is therefore up to the
user to perform a safety and compliance review to ensure
that the LTM8068 is suitable for the intended application.
VOUT2 Post Regulator
VOUT2 is produced by a high performance low dropout
300mA regulator. At full load, its dropout is less than
430mV. Its output is set by applying a resistor from the
RFB2 pin to GND; the value of RFB2 can be calculated by
the equation:
RFB2 =
608.78
kΩ
VOUT2 – 1.22

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VOUT2 Post Regulator Bypass Capacitance and Low
Noise Performance
PCB Layout
The VOUT2 linear regulator may be used with the addition
of a 0.01μF bypass capacitor from VOUT to the BYP pin
to lower output voltage noise. A good quality low leakage
capacitor, such as a X5R or X7R ceramic, is recommended.
This capacitor will bypass the reference of the regulator,
lowering the output voltage noise to as low as 20µVRMS.
Using a bypass capacitor has the added benefit of improving transient response.
Most of the headaches associated with PCB layout have
been alleviated or even eliminated by the high level of
integration of the LTM8068. The LTM8068 is nevertheless a switching power supply, and care must be taken to
minimize electrical noise to 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 1 for a suggested layout. Ensure that the grounding
and heat sinking are acceptable.
Safety Rated Capacitors
A few rules to keep in mind are:
Some applications require safety rated capacitors, which
are high voltage capacitors that are specifically designed
and rated for AC operation and high voltage surges. These
capacitors are often certified to safety standards such as UL
60950, IEC 60950 and others. In the case of the LTM8068,
a common application of a safety rated capacitor would
be to connect it from GND to VOUTN. To provide maximum
flexibility, the LTM8068 does not include any components
between GND and VOUTN. Any safety capacitors must be
added externally.
The specific capacitor and circuit configuration for any
application depends upon the safety requirements of
the system into which the LTM8068 is being designed.
Table 2 provides a list of possible capacitors and their
manufacturers. The application of a capacitor from GND
to VOUTN may also reduce the high frequency output noise
on the output.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
5. Connect all of the GND connections to as large a copper
pour or plane area as possible on the top layer. Avoid
breaking the ground connection between the external
components and the LTM8068.
6. Use vias to connect the GND copper 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 1. The LTM8068 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.
Thermal Considerations
The LTM8068 output current may need to be derated if it
is required to operate in a high ambient temperature. The
amount of current derating is dependent upon the input
voltage, output power and ambient temperature. The
temperature rise curves given in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section can be used as a guide. These curves
were generated by the LTM8068 mounted to a 58cm2
4-layer FR4 printed circuit board. Boards of other sizes
and layer count can exhibit different thermal behavior, so
it is incumbent upon the user to verify proper operation
over the intended system’s line, load and environmental
operating conditions.
For increased accuracy and fidelity to the actual application,
many designers use FEA to predict thermal performance.
To that end, the Pin Configuration section of the data sheet
typically gives four thermal coefficients:
Hot-Plugging Safely
θJA: Thermal resistance from junction to ambient
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input
bypass capacitor of the LTM8068. However, these capacitors can cause problems if the LTM8068 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
source forms an underdamped tank circuit, and the voltage at the VIN pin of the LTM8068 can ring to more than
twice the nominal input voltage, possibly exceeding the
LTM8068’s rating and damaging the part. If the input
supply is poorly controlled or the user will be plugging
the LTM8068 into an energized supply, the input network
should be designed to prevent this overshoot. This can be
accomplished by installing a small resistor in series to VIN,
but the most popular method of controlling input voltage
overshoot is adding an electrolytic bulk capacitor to the
VIN net. This capacitor’s relatively high equivalent series
resistance damps the circuit and eliminates the voltage
overshoot. The extra capacitor improves low frequency
ripple filtering and can slightly improve the efficiency of the
circuit, though it can be a large component in the circuit.
θJCbottom: Thermal resistance from junction to the bottom of the product case
14
θJCtop: Thermal resistance from junction to top of the
product case
θJCboard: Thermal resistance from junction to the printed
circuit board.
While the meaning of each of these coefficients may seem
to be intuitive, JEDEC has defined each to avoid confusion and inconsistency. These definitions are given in
JESD 51-12, and are quoted or paraphrased as follows:
θJA is the natural convection junction-to-ambient air
thermal resistance measured in a one cubic foot sealed
enclosure. This environment is sometimes referred to
as still air although natural convection causes the air to
move. This value is determined with the part mounted to a
JESD 51-9 defined test board, which does not reflect an
actual application or viable operating condition.

LTM8068
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
θJCbottom is the junction-to-board thermal resistance with
all of the component power dissipation flowing through the
bottom of the package. In the typical µModule converter,
the bulk of the heat flows out the bottom of the package,
but there is always heat flow out into the ambient environment. As a result, this thermal resistance value may
be useful for comparing packages but the test conditions
don’t generally match the user’s application.
θJCtop is determined with nearly all of the component power
dissipation flowing through the top of the package. As the
electrical connections of the typical µModule converter are
on the bottom of the package, it is rare for an application
to operate such that most of the heat flows from the junction to the top of the part. As in the case of θJCbottom, this
value may be useful for comparing packages but the test
conditions don’t generally match the user’s application.
θJCboard is the junction-to-board thermal resistance where
almost all of the heat flows through the bottom of the
µModule converter and into the board, and is really the
sum of the θJCbottom and the thermal resistance of the
bottom of the part through the solder joints and through a
portion of the board. The board temperature is measured
a specified distance from the package, using a two-sided,
two-layer board. This board is described in JESD 51-9.
Given these definitions, it should now be apparent that none
of these thermal coefficients reflects an actual physical
operating condition of a µModule converter. Thus, none
of them can be individually used to accurately predict the
thermal performance of the product. Likewise, it would
be inappropriate to attempt to use any one coefficient to
correlate to the junction temperature vs load graphs given
in the product’s data sheet. The only appropriate way to
use the coefficients is when running a detailed thermal
analysis, such as FEA, which considers all of the thermal
resistances simultaneously.
A graphical representation of these thermal resistances
is given in Figure 2.
The blue resistances are contained within the µModule
converter, and the green are outside.
The die temperature of the LTM8068 must be lower than
the maximum rating of 125°C, so care should be taken in
the layout of the circuit to ensure good heat sinking of the
LTM8068. The bulk of the heat flow out of the LTM8068
is through the bottom of the module and the BGA pads
into the printed circuit board. Consequently a poor printed
circuit board design can cause excessive heating, resulting in impaired performance or reliability. Please refer to
the PCB Layout section for printed circuit board design
suggestions.
