PRODUCTION DATA
Layout is a critical part of good power-supply design. There are several signal paths that conduct fast-changing currents or voltages that interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance, generating noise or degrading power-supply performance. To help eliminate these problems, bypass the IN pin to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor with an X5R or X7R dielectric.
Minimize equivalent series inductance (ESL) and equivalent series resistance (ESR) to maximize performance and provide stability. Place each capacitor (CIN, COUT, CNR, CFF) 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 these circuits potentially impact system performance negatively, and even cause instability.
