PRODUCTION DATA
For best overall performance, place all circuit components on the same side of the circuit board. Place these components as near as practical to the respective LDO pin connections. Place ground return connections of the input and output capacitor, as close as possible to the LDO ground pin. Use a wide, component-side, copper surface to make the connections between the two. Using vias and long traces to the input and output capacitors is strongly discouraged and negatively affects system performance. Use a ground reference plane either embedded in the PCB or located on the bottom side of the PCB opposite the components. This reference plane helps improve accuracy of the output voltage and provide shielding from noise. This plane behaves similarly to a thermal plane to spread (or sink) heat from the LDO device when connected to the thermal pad. In most applications, this ground plane is necessary to meet thermal requirements.
