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 LTM4604A makes the PCB board
layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its
electrical and thermal performance, some layout consid-
erations are still necessary.
