PRODUCTION DATA
For the LDO power supply, especially high voltage and large current supplies, layout is an important step. If layout is not carefully designed, the regulator potentially does not deliver enough output current because of thermal limitation. Spread the GND layer as large as possible and place enough thermal vias on the thermal pad. These steps help improve device thermal performance, and maximize the current output at high ambient temperature. Figure 7-17 shows an example layout.
