11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines

  • Place VCC, GND, U, V, and W pins with thick traces because high current passes through these traces.
  • Place the 10-μF capacitor between VCC and GND, and as close to the VCC and GND pins as possible.
  • Place the capacitor between CPP and CPN, and as close to the CPP and CPN pins as possible.
  • Place the capacitor between V5 and GND as close to the V5 pin as possible.
  • Connect the GND under the thermal pad.
  • Keep the thermal pad connection as large as possible, both on the bottom side and top side. It should be one piece of copper without any gaps.
