Board Layout
The high voltage operation of the LT3468/LT3468-1/
LT3468-2 demands careful attention to board layout. You
will not get advertised performance with careless layout.
Figure 5 shows the recommended component placement.
Keep the area for the high voltage end of the secondary as
small as possible. Also note the larger than minimum
spacing for all high voltage nodes in order to meet break-
down voltage requirements for the circuit board.
It is
imperative to keep the electrical path formed by C1, the
primary of T1, and the LT3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 as
short as possible.
If this path is haphazardly made long, it
will effectively increase the leakage inductance of T1,
which may result in an overvoltage condition on the SW
pin.

TYPICAL APPLICATIO S
U
should be a Schottky diode with at least a 500mA peak
forward current capability. The diode forward voltage drop
should be 600mV or less at 500mA of forward current.
Reverse voltage rating should be 40V or higher. Table 4
shows various recommended clamping diodes.
