12 Layout

12.1 Layout Guidelines

  • For all applications, a 0.01-uF or greater ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended between IN terminal and GND. For hot-plug applications, where input power path inductance is negligible, this capacitor can be eliminated/minimized.
  • The optimum placement of decoupling capacitor is closest to the IN and GND terminals of the device. Care must be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass-capacitor connection, the IN terminal, and the GND terminal of the IC. See Figure 44 for a PCB layout example.
  • High current carrying power path connections should be as short as possible and should be sized to carry at least twice the full-load current.
  • The GND terminal must be tied to the PCB ground plane at the terminal of the IC. The PCB ground should be a copper plane or island on the board.
  • Locate all support components: RILIM, CdVdT and resistors for EN/UVLO, close to their connection pin. Connect the other end of the component to the GND pin of the device with shortest trace length. The trace routing for the RILIM and CdVdT components to the device should be as short as possible to reduce parasitic effects on the current limit and soft start timing. These traces should not have any coupling to switching signals on the board.
  • Protection devices such as TVS, snubbers, capacitors, or diodes should be placed physically close to the device they are intended to protect, and routed with short traces to reduce inductance. For example, a protection Schottky diode is recommended to address negative transients due to switching of inductive loads, and it should be physically close to the OUT pins.
  • 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.
