Place the VDD capacitor as close
as possible between the VDD pin and GND of the UCC2808A-xEP, tracked directly to
both pins.
A small, external filter
capacitor is recommended on the CS pin. Track the filter capacitor as directly
as possible from the CS to GND pins.
The tracking and layout of the FB
pin and connecting components is critical to minimizing noise pickup and
interference. Reduce the total surface area of traces on the FB net to a
minimum.
The OUTA and OUTB pins have a
high-current source and sink capability. An external gate resistor is
recommended to damp oscillations. A value of approximately a few ohms (Ω) is
recommended. A pulldown resistor on the gate to source is recommended to prevent
the MOSFET gate from floating on if there is an open-circuit fault in the gate
drive path.
