12 Layout

12.1 Layout Guidelines

As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design. Especially RF designs demand careful attention to the PCB layout. Care must be taken in board layout to get the specified performance. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show poor line and/or load regulation, stability issues as well as EMI problems and interference with RF circuits. It is critical to provide a low inductance, impedance ground path. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current paths. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC pins as well as the inductor and output capacitor. Use a common Power GND node and a different node for the Signal GND to minimize the effects of ground noise. Keep the common path to the GND PIN, which returns the small signal components and the high current of the output capacitors as short as possible to avoid ground noise. The VOUT line should be connected to the output capacitor and routed away from noisy components and traces (for example, SW line).
