The LTM®8001 is a 36VIN, 5A step-down μModule® regulator with a 5-output configurable LDO array. Operating
over an input voltage range of 6V to 36V, the LTM8001
buck regulator supports an output voltage range of 1.2V
to 24V. Following the buck regulator is an array of five
1.1A linear regulators whose outputs may be connected
in parallel to accommodate a wide variety of load combinations. Three of these LDOs are tied to the output of the
buck regulator, while the other two are tied together to an
undedicated input.
The low profile package (3.42mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density
point of load regulation. The LTM8001 is packaged in a
thermally enhanced, compact (15mm × 15mm) and low
profile (3.42mm) overmolded ball grid array (BGA) package suitable for automated assembly by standard surface
mount equipment. The LTM8001 is RoHS compliant.

LTM8001I 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 4: No minimum load is required if the respective linear regulator is
off, such as when VOUT0 = 0V, VIN45 = 0V, BIAS123 = 0V or BIAS45 = 0V.
Note 5: The current limit may decrease to zero at input-to-output
differential voltages greater than 22V. Operation at voltages for VOUT0,
VIN45, BIAS123 and BIAS45 is allowed up to a maximum of 36V as long
as the difference between the linear regulator input and output voltage
is below the specified differential voltage. Line and load regulation
specifications are not applicable when the device is in current limit.
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: This μModule regulator includes overtemperature protection that
is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions.
Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection
is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3: The LTM8001E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C internal. Specifications over the full –40°C to
125°C internal operating temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The

PIN FUNCTIONS
VIN0 (Bank 1): The VIN0 bank supplies current to the
LTM8001’s internal regulator and to the internal power
switches. This pin must be locally bypassed with an external, low ESR capacitor; see Table 1 for recommended
values.
BIAS123 (Pin B8): This pin is the supply pin for the
control circuitry of the LDOs connected to VOUT1-VOUT3.
For the LDOs to regulate, this voltage must be more than
1.2V to 1.6V greater than the output voltage (see Dropout
specifications).
GND (Bank 2): Tie these GND pins to a local ground plane
below the LTM8001 and the circuit components. In most
applications, the bulk of the heat flow out of the LTM8001
is through these 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. Return the feedback divider (RFB0) to this net.
SS (Pin K4): The Soft-Start Pin. Place an external capacitor
to ground to limit the regulated current during start-up
conditions. The soft-start pin has an 11μA charging current.
VIN45 (Bank 3): Input to the LDOs connected to VOUT4 and
VOUT5. It must be locally bypassed with a low ESR capacitor.
VOUT0 (Bank 4): Switching Power Converter Output Pins.
Apply the output filter capacitor and the output load between
these pins and the GND pins. In most cases, an output
capacitance made up of a combination of ceramic and electrolytic capacitors yields the optimal volumetric solution.
BIAS45 (Pin A8): This pin is the supply pin for the control
circuitry of the LDOs connected to VOUT4 and VOUT5. For
the LDOs to regulate, this voltage must be more than
1.2V to 1.6V greater than the output voltage (see Dropout
specifications).
SYNC (Pin K7): Frequency Synchronization Pin. This pin
allows the switching frequency to be synchronized to
an external clock. The RT resistor should be chosen to
operate the internal clock at 20% slower than the SYNC
pulse frequency. This pin should be grounded when not
in use. Do not leave this pin floating. When laying out the
board, avoid noise coupling to or from the SYNC trace.
See the Switching Frequency Synchronization section in
Applications Information.
VREF (Pin K8): Buffered 2V Reference Capable of 0.5mA
Drive.
RUN (Pin L4): The RUN pin acts as an enable pin and
turns on the internal circuitry. The pin does not have any
pull up or pull down, requiring a voltage bias for normal
part operation. The RUN pin is internally clamped, so it
may be pulled up to a voltage source that is higher than

resistor, provided the pin current does not exceed 100µA.
20% lower than the SYNC pulse frequency. Do not leave
this pin open.
FB0 (Pin L5): The LTM8001 regulates its FB0 pin to 1.19V.
Connect the adjust resistor from this pin to ground. The
value of RFB0 is given by the equation:
ILIM (Pin L8): The ILIM pin reduces the maximum regulated
output current of the LTM8001. The maximum control voltage range is 1.5V. ILIM voltages above 1.5V have little or
no effect. If this function is not used, tie this pin to VREF.
RFBO =

VOUT – 1.19
where RFB0 is in kΩ.
COMP (Pin L6): Compensation Pin. This pin is generally
not used. The LTM8001 is internally compensated, but
some rare situations may arise that require a modification to the control loop. This pin connects directly to the
input PWM comparator of the LTM8001. In most cases,
no adjustment is necessary. If this function is not used,
leave this pin open.
RT (Pin L7): The RT pin is used to program the switching frequency of the LTM8001 by connecting a resistor
from this pin to ground. The Applications Information
section of the data sheet includes a table to determine the
recommended resistance value and switching frequency.
When using the SYNC function, set the frequency to be
SET1, SET2, SET3, SET4, SET5 (Pins L9, H11, G11, D11,
A9): These pins set the regulation point for each LDO. A
fixed current of 10μA flows out of this pin through a single
external resistor, which programs the output voltage of
the device. Output voltage range is zero to the absolute
maximum rated output voltage. The transient performance
can be improved by adding a small capacitor from the
SET pin to ground.
VOUT1 (Pins L10, L11), VOUT2 (Pins J11, K11), VOUT3 (Pins
E11, F11), VOUT4 (Pins B11, C11), VOUT5 (Pins A10, A11):
These are the power outputs of the individual LDOs. There
must be a minimum load current of 1mA or the output may
not regulate. The internal LDOs are rated for positive voltages between their inputs and outputs. Avoid applications
where the internal LDOs can experience a negative voltage,
even during start-up and turn-off transients

LTM8001
OPERATION
The LTM8001 consists of two major parts: the first is a
standalone nonisolated step-down switching DC/DC power
converter that can deliver up to 5A of output current. The
second part is an array of five parallelable 1.1A LDOs. The
DC/DC converter provides a precisely regulated output
voltage programmable via one external resistor from 1.2V
to 24V. The input voltage range is 6V to 36V. Given that it
is a step-down converter, make sure that the input voltage is high enough to support the desired output voltage
and load current. The linear regulator array consists of
five low drop-out regulators, of which three inputs are
dedicated to the buck converter’s output (VOUT0) and two
tie to an undedicated input (VIN45). Each individual linear
regulator may be set to a unique voltage through its SET
pin, or may be paralleled with other LDOs by tying their
respective SET and VOUT pins together.
can be used with a resistor between RUN and VIN0 to set
hysteresis. Please refer to the UVLO and Shutdown section
in the Applications Information for further details. During
start-up, the SS pin is held low until the part is enabled,
after which the capacitor at the soft-start pin is charged
with an 11μA current source.
The LTM8001 is equipped with thermal shutdown circuitry
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. It is set above the 125°C absolute maximum internal
temperature rating to avoid interfering with normal specified operation, so internal device temperatures will exceed
the absolute maximum rating when the overtemperature
protection is active. Thus, continuous or repeated activation of the thermal shutdown may impair device reliability.
During thermal shutdown, all switching is terminated and
the SS pin is driven low.
The LTM8001 step-down switching converter utilizes fixed
frequency, average current mode control to accurately
regulate the output current. This results in a constantvoltage, constant-current output characteristic, making
the LTM8001’s step-down regulator well suited for many
supercapacitor and battery charging applications. As shown
in the Typical Performance Characteristics, the current limit
works in both directions. The control loop will regulate the
current in the internal inductor. Once the VOUT0 output has
reached the regulation voltage determined by the resistor
from the FBO pin to ground, the voltage regulation loop will
reduce the output current and maintain the output voltage.
The ILIM input may be used to set the maximum allowable
current output of the LTM8001. The analog control range
of the ILIM pin is from 0V to 1.5V. If the ILIM pin is raised
above 1.5V, there is little or no effect.
The VOUT1-5 linear regulators are easy to use and have
all the protection features expected in high performance
regulators. Included are short-circuit protection and safe
operating area protection, as well as thermal shutdown.
These linear regulators are especially well suited to applications needing multiple rails. Their architecture allows
their outputs to be adjusted down to zero volts. The output
voltage is set by a single resistor, handling modern low
voltage digital ICs as well as allowing easy parallel operation and simplified thermal management.
The RUN pin functions as a precision enable for the stepdown switching converter connected to VOUT0. As the
VOUT1-3 LDO inputs are tied to VOUT0, the RUN pin will
also implicitly enable or disable these LDOs as well, unless
some external power source is tied to VOUT0. Refer to the
Applications Information section Shorted Input Protection
if VOUT0 is forced above VIN0. When the voltage at the RUN
pin is lower than 1.55V, switching is terminated. Below the
turn-on threshold, the RUN pin sinks 5.5μA. This current
The linear regulators can be operated in two modes. One
mode has the BIAS123 and BIAS45 pins connected to the
linear regulator power input pins (VOUT0 and VIN45) which
gives a limitation of about 1.6V dropout. In the other mode,
the BIAS123 and BIAS45 pins can be tied to a voltage at
least 1.6V above their highest respective outputs. The linear
regulator power input (VOUT0 and VOUT45) can then be set
to a lower voltage that meets the dropout requirement,
minimizing the power dissipation.
The switching frequency is determined by a resistor at
the RT pin. The LTM8001 may also be synchronized to an
external clock through the use of the SYNC pin. Please
see the Switching Frequency Synchronization section in
the Applications Information for further details.

LTM8001
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
For most applications, the design process is straight
forward, summarized as follows:
1. Look at Table 1 and find the row that has the desired
input range and VOUT0 output voltage.
2. Apply the recommended CIN0, COUT0, RFB0 and RT values. Note that ceramic and electrolytic capacitors are
recommended. These are intended to work in concert
to optimize performance and solution size; apply both
capacitors.
3. Apply the set resistors for the VOUT1, VOUT2, VOUT3,
VOUT4 and VOUT5 regulators. To set the voltage of each
linear regulator, use the equation
RSETX =
VOUTX
10µA
where the value of RSET is in Ohms. Note that there is
no minimum positive output voltage for the regulator,
but a minimum load current is required to maintain
regulation regardless of output voltage, (please see
Electrical Characteristics table). For true zero voltage
output operation, this minimum load current must be
returned to a negative supply voltage. If paralleling the
linear regulators, set the output of each regulator to
the same voltage by tying the SETx pins together and
applying a single resistor. The value of the single set
resistor is given by the equation:
The maximum frequency (and attendant RT value) at
which the LTM8001 should be allowed to switch is given
in Table 1 in the fMAX column, while the recommended
frequency (and RT value) for optimal efficiency over the
given input condition is given in the fOPTIMAL column.
There are additional conditions that must be satisfied if
the synchronization function is used. Please refer to the
Switching Frequency Synchronization section for details.
Capacitor Selection Considerations
The CIN and COUT 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
necessary. Again, it is incumbent upon the user to verify
proper operation over the intended system’s line, load and
environmental conditions.
4. Apply the output capacitors for the VOUT1, VOUT2, VOUT3,
VOUT4 and VOUT5 regulators. A minimum output capacitor of 2.2μF with an ESR of 0.5Ω or less is recommended
to prevent oscillations.
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, 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.
Many of the output capacitances given in Table 1 specify
an electrolytic capacitor. Ceramic capacitors may also be
used in the application, but it may be necessary to use
more of them. Many high value ceramic capacitors have a
large voltage coefficient, so the actual capacitance of the
component at the desired operating voltage may be only
a fraction of the specified value. Also, the very low ESR of
ceramic capacitors may necessitate additional capacitors
for acceptable stability margin.
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 is limited by junction temperature, the relationship between the input and output voltage magnitude
and other factors. Please refer to the graphs in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section for guidance.
A final precaution regarding ceramic capacitors concerns
the maximum input voltage rating of the LTM8001. A
ceramic input capacitor combined with trace or cable
inductance forms a high Q (under damped) tank circuit.
If the LTM8001 circuit is plugged into a live supply, the
input voltage can ring to twice its nominal value, possibly exceeding the device’s rating. This situation is easily
avoided; see the Hot Plugging Safely section.

LTM8001
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Programming Switching Frequency
Soft-Start
The LTM8001 has an operational switching frequency
range between 200kHz and 1MHz. This frequency is
programmed with an external resistor from the RT pin to
ground. Do not leave this pin open under any condition.
See Table 2 for resistor values and the corresponding
switching frequencies.
The soft-start function controls the slew rate of the power
supply output VOUT0 voltage during start-up. A controlled
output voltage ramp minimizes output voltage overshoot,
reduces inrush current from the VIN0 supply, and facilitates supply sequencing. A capacitor connected from the
SS pin to GND programs the slew rate. The capacitor is
charged from an internal 11μA current source to produce
a ramped output voltage.

Switching Frequency Trade-Offs
It is recommended that the user apply the optimal RT resistor value given in Table 1 for the input and output operating
condition. System level or other considerations, however,
may necessitate another operating frequency. While the
LTM8001 is flexible enough to accommodate a wide range
of operating frequencies, a haphazardly chosen one may
result in undesirable operation under certain operating or
fault conditions. A frequency that is too high can reduce
efficiency, generate excessive heat or even damage the
LTM8001 in some fault conditions. A frequency that is too
low can result in a final design that has too much output
ripple or too large of an output capacitor.
Maximum Output Current Adjust
The LTM8001 features an adjustable accurate current
limit. To adjust the load current limit, an analog voltage
is applied to the ILIM pin. Varying the voltage between
0V and 1.5V adjusts the maximum current between the
minimum and the maximum current, 5.6A typical. Above
1.5V, the control voltage has no effect on the regulated
inductor current. Graphs of the output current vs ILIM voltages are given in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section. The LTM8001 provides a 2V reference voltage for
conveniently applying resistive dividers to set the current
limit. The current limit can be set as shown in Figure 1
with the following equation:
IMAX = 7.47

R1+R2
A convenient value of R1 may be 10k. In that case,
R2 =
10 •IMAX
kΩ
7.47 –IMAX
Switching Frequency Synchronization
The nominal switching frequency of the LTM8001 is
determined by the resistor from the RT pin to GND and
may be set from 200kHz to 1MHz. The internal oscillator
may also be synchronized to an external clock through
the SYNC pin. The external clock applied to the SYNC pin
must have a logic low below 0.8V and a logic high greater
than 1.2V. The input frequency must be 20% higher than
the frequency determined by the resistor at the RT pin.
The SYNC pin must be tied to GND if the synchronization to an external clock is not required. When SYNC is
grounded, the switching frequency is determined by the
resistor at the RT pin.

Load Current Derating Using the ILIM Pin
VOUT
In high current applications, derating the maximum
current based on operating temperature may prevent
damage to the load. In addition, many applications have
thermal limitations that will require the regulated current
to be reduced based on the load and/or board temperature. To achieve this, the LTM8001 uses the ILIM pin to
reduce the effective regulated current in the load. While
ILIM programs the regulated current in the load, it may
also be configured to reduce the regulated current. The
load/board temperature derating is programmed using a
resistor divider with a temperature dependant resistance,
as shown in Figure 2. When the board/load temperature
rises, the ILIM voltage will decrease.

Thermal Shutdown
If the part is too hot, the LTM8001 engages its thermal
shutdown, terminates switching and discharges the softstart capacitor. When the part has cooled, the part automatically restarts. This thermal shutdown is set to engage at
temperatures above the 125°C absolute maximum internal
operating rating to ensure that it does not interfere with
functionality in the specified operating range. This means
that internal temperatures will exceed the 125°C absolute
maximum rating when the overtemperature protection is
active, possibly impairing the device’s reliability.
UVLO and Shutdown

Temperature Using an NTC Resistor
VOUT0 Output Overvoltage Protection
The LTM8001 switching regulator uses the FB0 pin to both
regulate the output voltage and to provide a high speed
overvoltage lockout to avoid high voltage output conditions. If the output voltage exceeds 125% of the regulated
voltage level (1.5V at the FB0 pin), the LTM8001 terminates
switching and shuts down switching for a brief period. The
output voltage at which output overvoltage protection engages must be greater than 1.5V and is set by the equation:

10k 
VOUT = 1.5V  1+
 RFB0 
where RFB0 is shown in Figure 3.
If the output overvoltage protection engages, the LTM8001
will stop switching. If this is due to some external power
source connected to VOUT0, this source will be free to pull
up VOUT0. If the VOUT0 voltage exceeds the VIN0 input, an
internal power diode will clamp the output to a diode drop
above the input.
The LTM8001 VOUT0 step-down regulator has an internal
UVLO that terminates switching, resets all logic, and discharges the soft-start capacitor for input voltages below
4.2V. The LTM8001 also has a precision RUN function
that enables switching when the voltage at the RUN pin
rises to 1.68V and shuts down the LTM8001 when the
RUN pin voltage falls to 1.55V. There is also an internal
current source that provides 5.5μA of pull-down current to
program additional UVLO hysteresis. For RUN rising, the
current source is sinking 5.5µA until RUN = 1.68V, after
which it turns off. For RUN falling, the current source is
off until the RUN = 1.55V, after which it sinks 5.5µA. The
following equations determine the voltage divider resistors for programming the falling UVLO voltage and rising
enable voltage (VENA) as configured in Figure 4.

LTM8001
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The RUN pin has an absolute maximum voltage of 6V.
To accommodate the largest range of applications, there
is an internal Zener diode that clamps this pin, so that it
can be pulled up to a voltage higher than 6V through a
resistor that limits the current to less than 100µA. For
applications where the supply range is greater than 4:1,
size R2 greater than 375k.
VIN
LTM8001
The LTM8001 contains a step-down switching regulator
that operates at a user-selectable frequency in forced
continuous mode. Step-down switching regulators that
operate in forced continuous mode are capable of both
sinking and sourcing current to maintain output voltage
regulation
When the LTM8001 is sinking current, it maintains its
output voltage regulation by power conversion, not power
dissipation. This means that the energy provided to the
LTM8001 is in turn delivered to its input power bus.
There must be something on this power bus to accept or
use the energy, or the LTM8001’s input voltage will rise.
Left unchecked, the energy can raise the input voltage
above the absolute maximum voltage rating and damage
the LTM8001.

Figure 4. UVLO Configuration
Load Sharing
The VOUT0 step-down switching converter operates in
fixed frequency forced continuous mode, so it is able to
source and sink current. It is therefore not suitable for
load current sharing.
The linear regulators connected to VOUT1-VOUT5 are internally ballasted and may be paralleled. To do this, simply
tie the VOUTx and SETx terminals together. When the SET
pins of the regulators are tied together, the RSET resistor
is determined by the equation:
RSET =
Input Precautions
VOUT
n • 10µA
where n is the number of linear regulator outputs tied
together.
All paralleled LDOs must be active in order for this equation to be true, as it is assumed that all paralleled LDOs
are contributing 10µA to a single voltage set resistor. If
any LDO is off or inactive, it will be unable to contribution
its share of the set current and the output voltage will be
lower than expected.
When paralleling LDOs, tie all of the VOUTx and all of the
SETx pins together. Examples are shown in the Typical
Applications section.
In many cases, the system load on the LTM8001 input
bus will be sufficient to absorb the energy delivered by the
μModule regulator. The power required by other devices
will consume more than enough to make up for what
the LTM8001 delivers. In cases where the LTM8001 is
the largest or only power converter, this may not be true
and some means may need to be devised to prevent the
LTM8001’s input from rising too high. Figure 5a shows a
passive crowbar circuit that will dissipate energy during
momentary input overvoltage conditions. The breakdown
voltage of the zener diode is chosen in conjunction with
the resistor R to set the circuit’s trip point. The trip point
is typically set well above the maximum VIN voltage under
normal operating conditions. This circuit does not have a
precision threshold, and is subject to both part-to-part and
temperature variations, so it is not suitable for applications
where high accuracy is required or large voltage margins
are not available.
The circuit in Figure 5b also dissipates energy during momentary overvoltage conditions, but is more precise than
that in Figure 5a. It uses an inexpensive comparator and
the VREF output of the LTM8001 to establish a reference
voltage. The optional hysteresis resistor in the comparator
circuit avoids MOSFET chatter. Figure 5c shows a circuit
that latches on and crowbars the input in an overvoltage

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
event. The SCR latches when the input voltage threshold
is exceeded, so this circuit should be used with a fuse, as
shown, or employ some other method to interrupt current
from the load.
As mentioned, the LTM8001 sinks current by energy
conversion and not dissipation. Thus, no matter what
protection circuit that is used, the amount of power that the
protection circuit must absorb depends upon the amount
of power at the input. For example, if the output voltage is
2.5V and can sink 5A, the input protection circuit should
be designed to absorb at least 7.5W. In Figures 5a and 5b,
let us say that the protection activation threshold is 30V.
Then the circuit must be designed to be able to dissipate
7.5W and accept 7.5W/30V = 250mA.
Figures 5a through 5c are crowbar circuits, which attempt
to prevent the input voltage from rising above some level
by clamping the input to GND through a power device. In
some cases, it is possible to simply turn off the LTM8001
when the input voltage exceeds some threshold. This
is possible when the voltage power source that drives
current into VOUT never exceeds VIN. An example of this
circuit is shown in Figure 5d. When the power source on
the output drives VIN above a predetermined threshold,
the comparator pulls down on the RUN pin and stops
switching in the LTM8001. When this happens, the input
capacitance needs to absorb the energy stored within the
LTM8001’s internal inductor, resulting in an additional
voltage rise. As shown in the Block Diagram, the internal

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 6. The LTM8001 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.

PCB Layout
Most of the headaches associated with PCB layout have
been alleviated or even eliminated by the high level of
integration of the LTM8001. The LTM8001 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 6
for a suggested layout. Ensure that the grounding and heat
sinking are acceptable. A few rules to keep in mind are:
3. Place the ceramic COUT0 capacitor as close as possible
to the VOUT0 and GND connection of the LTM8001. The
electrolytic COUT0 capacitor may be farther from the
LTM8001. Place the remaining COUTx output capacitors
as close as possible to the VOUTx pins.
4. Place the CIN0 and COUT0 capacitors such that their
ground currents flow directly adjacent or underneath
the LTM8001.
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 LTM8001.

Hot Plugging Safely
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input
bypass capacitor of LTM8001. However, these capacitors
can cause problems if the LTM8001 is plugged into a live
input supply (see 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 VIN0 pin
of the LTM8001 can ring to more than twice the nominal
input voltage, possibly exceeding the LTM8001’s rating
8001f

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
and damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly controlled or the user will be plugging the LTM8001 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 VIN0, but the most
popular method of controlling input voltage overshoot is
to add an electrolytic bulk capacitor to the VIN0 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 performance of the circuit,
though it may be physically large.
Shorted Input Protection
Care needs to be taken in systems where the VOUT0 output will be held high when the input to the LTM8001 is
absent. If the VIN0 is allowed to float and the RUN pin is
held high (either by a logic signal or because it is tied to
VIN0), then the LTM8001’s internal circuitry will pull its
quiescent current through its internal power switch. This
is fine if your system can tolerate this state. If the RUN pin
is pulled low, the input current will drop to essentially zero.
However, if the VIN0 is grounded while the VOUT0 output is
held high, then parasitic diodes inside the LTM8001 can
pull large currents from the output through the VIN0 pin.
Figure 7 shows a circuit that will run only when the input
voltage is present and that protects against a shorted or
reversed input.

Charging Applications
The LTM8001’s internal switching step-down regulator’s CVCC operation makes it well suited for battery or
supercapacitor charging applications. A schematic of the
LTM8001 charging a supercapacitor and then distributing power to various loads through the onboard LDOs is
shown in the Typical Applications section. In this application, the supercapacitor is charged through the step-down
switching regulator and not the LDOs. Each LDO is rated
for positive and differential voltages between its input
and output, but may experience a negative voltage during
start-up or turn-off transients if its output is connected to
a battery, supercapacitor or energized load. Avoid using
the LTM8001 in applications where the internal LDOs can
experience a negative voltage.
Thermal Considerations
The LTM8001 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 LTM8001 mounted to a 59cm2
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 finite element analysis (FEA) to predict
thermal performance. To that end, the Pin Configuration
of this data sheet typically gives four thermal coefficients:
θJA: Thermal resistance from junction to ambient

LTM8001
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
θJCtop: Thermal resistance from junction to top of the
product case
θJB: 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 below:
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.
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 regulator,
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 regulator 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.
θJB is the junction-to-board thermal resistance where
almost all of the heat flows through the bottom of the
µModule regulator 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 regulator. 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 this 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 Figure 8. The blue resistances are contained within the
µModule regulator, and the green are outside.
The die temperature of the LTM8001 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
LTM8001. The bulk of the heat flow out of the LTM8001
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.
