11.1 Layout Guidelines

The designer requires at least a 2-layer PCB for the LDC5072-Q1. The device is designed such that one half of the device contains sensitive analog signals for the sensor coils (LCIN, LCOUT, and INxx), and the other half of the device contains signals that may leave the PCB (power, ground, and analog outputs).

The following lists the best practices for the PCB layout:

  • Bypass capacitors should be placed close to the device pins.
  • A ground plane layer can be placed below the LDC5072-Q1.
  • Ideally, there should not be a ground layer beneath the sensor coils as it will impact the sensor response. A shielding layer, however, may be implemented to protect the sensor from interference of metal or EMI beneath the sensor. To minimize the impact to the sensor response, the shielding layer should be separated by as much distance from the bottom of the sensor as possible.
  • LCIN, LCOUT, and the INX signal traces should be kept as short as possible between the LDC5072-Q1 device and the sensor coils.
  • TI recommends that placeholder pads be accommodated in the layout for the RINFLT, CFLT, L1, L2, L3, and L4. These pads can be useful in debug during EMI/EMC testing and can save iteration of board layout.
