10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

  • The VIN terminal is recommended to have a low-ESR ceramic bypass-capacitor. The typical recommended bypass capacitance is a 10-μF ceramic capacitor with a X5R or X7R dielectric.
  • The VIN terminal must be tied to the source of the MOSFET using a thick trace or polygon.
  • The Anode pin of the LM74610-Q1 is connected to the Source of the MOSFET for sensing.
  • The Cathode pin of the LM74610-Q1 is connected to the drain of the MOSFET for sensing.
  • The high current path of for this solution is through the MOSFET, therefor it is important to use thick traces for source and drain of the MOSFET.
  • The charge pump capacitor Vcap must be kept away from the MOSFET to lower the thermal effects on the capacitance value.
  • The Gate Drive and Gate pull down pins of the LM74610-Q1 must be connected to the MOSFET gate without using vias. Avoid excessively thin traces to the Gate Drive.
  • Obtaining acceptable performance with alternate layout schemes is possible, however this layout has been shown to produce good results and is intended as a guideline.
  • Keep the Drive pin close to the MOSFET to avoid further reduce MOSFET turn-on delay.
