11.22 Layout Considerations

To achieve optimal electrical and thermal performance, an optimized PCB layout is required. Figure 45 through Figure 48, shows a typical PCB layout. Some considerations for an optimized layout are:

  • Use large copper areas for power planes (PVIN, VOUT, and PGND) to minimize conduction loss and thermal stress.
  • Place ceramic input and output capacitors close to the device pins to minimize high frequency noise.
  • Locate additional output capacitors between the ceramic capacitor and the load.
  • Keep AGND and PGND separate from one another.
  • Place RSET, RRT, and CSS as close as possible to their respective pins.
  • Use multiple vias to connect the power planes to internal layers.
