6 Layout Guidelines

Proper design and layout is crucial to the performance of the power supply. Here are some suggestions to the layout of TPS5124 design:

  • A four-layer PCB design is recommended for designs using the TPS5124. Use at least one layer dedicated to the PWRGND plane.
  • All sensitive analog components such as INV, REF, CT, GND, SCP, and SOFTSTART should be reference to ANAGND.
  • Ideally, all area directly under the TPS5124 chip should also be ANAGND.
  • GND and PWRGND should be isolated as much as possible, with a single point connection between them.
