SBVS363B December 2020 – November 2025 TPS7B87-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
As depicted in Figure 7-11 and Figure 7-12, place the input and output capacitors close to the device for the layout of the TPS7B87-Q1. To enhance the thermal performance, place as many vias as possible around the device. These vias improve the heat transfer between the different GND planes in the PCB.
To improve AC performance such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response, use a board design with separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT, with each ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the output capacitor must connect directly to the GND pin of the device.
For stable operation and to maximize system performance, minimize the equivalent series inductance (ESL) and the equivalent series resistance (ESR). Place each capacitor as close as possible to the device and on the same side of the PCB as the regulator.
Do not place any of the capacitors on the opposite side of the PCB from where the regulator is installed. Use of vias or long traces to connect the capacitors, can negatively affect system performance and even cause instability.
If possible, and to provide the maximum performance specified in this document, use the same layout pattern used for the TPS7B87-Q1 evaluation board, available at www.ti.com.
