PRODUCTION DATA.
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents and switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the DCDC converters might show noise problems and duty cycle jitter. The input capacitors on VBUS and PMID pins should be placed as close as possible to the input pins for good input voltage filtering. The inductors should be placed as close as possible to the switch pins to minimize the noise coupling into other circuits. The output capacitors must be placed directly from the inductor (charger buck) or Schottky diode (WLED boost) to GND to minimize the ripple current in these traces. All ground pins must be connected directly to the ground plane as should all passive components with ground connections. Figure 60 and Figure 61 show one example for placement and routing of the critical components on a four-layer PCB. In this example all components are placed on the top layer and all routing is done on the top layer or bottom layer. Layer 2 is a solid ground plane and layer 3 is not used for layout. All IC pin connections are notes as [pin number]. For example, the VSYS pin is referenced as [C6].
