7.4.1.2 Board Layout Recommendations to Improve PSRR and Noise Performance

To improve AC performance (such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response), design the board with separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT. Connect each ground plane only at the GND pin of the device. In addition, directly connect the ground connection for the output capacitor to the GND pin of the device.

Minimize equivalent series inductance (ESL) and ESR to maximize performance and provide stability. Place each capacitor as close as possible to the device and on the same side of the PCB as the regulator.

Do not place any capacitors on the opposite side of the PCB from where the regulator is installed. Using vias and long traces is strongly discouraged because of the negative impact on system performance. Vias and long traces potentially cause instability.

If possible, and to provide the maximum performance denoted in this document, use the same layout pattern used for the TPS7B4259-Q1 evaluation board. This evaluation board is available at www.ti.com.
