8.3.1 Layout Guidelines

The voltage rating for bulk capacitors should be higher than the operating voltage, to provide margin for cases when the motor transfers energy to the supply.

  • Small-value capacitors should be ceramic, and placed closely to device pins.
  • The high-current device outputs should use wide metal traces.

The device thermal pad should be soldered to the PCB top-layer ground plane. Multiple vias should be used to connect to a large bottom-layer ground plane. The use of large metal planes and multiple vias help dissipate the I2 × RDS(on) heat that is generated in the device.
