Place the VDD capacitor as close
as possible between the VDD pin and GND of the UCC2808A-x, with the VDD
capacitor 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 minimize noise pickup and
interference. Minimize the total surface area of traces on the FB net.
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 around 1 to 10 Ohms is recommended.
A pulldown resistor on the gate to source is recommended to prevent the MOSFET
gate from floating and turning on if there is an open-circuit fault in the gate
drive path.
