Layout Guidelines

As for all switching power supplies, especially those running at high switching frequency and high currents, layout is an important design step. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could suffer from instability and noise problems. To maximize efficiency, switch rise and fall time are very fast. To prevent radiation of high frequency noise (for example, EMI), proper layout of the high-frequency switching path is essential. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the SW pin, and always use a ground plane under the switching regulator to minimize interplane coupling. The input capacitor must not only to be close to the VIN pin, but also to the GND pin in order to reduce input supply ripple.

The most critical current path for all boost converters is from the switching FET, through the rectifier diode, then the output capacitors, and back to ground of the switching FET. This high current path contains nanosecond rise and fall time and must be kept as short as possible. Therefore, the output capacitor must not only to be close to the GND pin, but also to the cathode of the high side rectifier to reduce the overshoot at the SW pin.
