Table 5-1 summarizes the recommended design and layout practices for the different pins of the device.
| Section | Pin or Section | Maximum Parasitic Trace Inductance (pH) | Recommended Guidelines |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | 650 | Decouple with a capacitor ≥ 2.2µF, placed as close to device as possible |
| 2 | PVDD | 600 | Decouple with capacitor 3 x 10µF or 2 x 22µF, placed as close as possible to device |
| Needs small package 0.1µF capacitor (0201) placed closest to the device, with minimal ESL | |||
| Account for derating due to PVDD voltage | |||
| Wide traces with high current carrying capability | |||
| 3 | GREG | 4000 | Decouple with 0.1μF capacitor to PVDD pin |
| Connect directly to PVDD pin with star connection | |||
| 4 | SW | Place inductor as close as possible to device | |
| Wide traces to carry high current and minimize parasitic resistance critical for efficiency (reduced I2R losses) | |||
| Decouple with ≥ 10µF capacitor near inductor | |||
| Minimize parasitic capacitance to ground to reduce switching losses | |||
| Leave pin unconnected in external PVDD mode | |||
| 5 | VBAT | 950 | Connect directly to power source using star connection |
| Decouple with ≥ 1µF capacitor, placed as close as possible to device | |||
| 5 | VBAT_SNS | Connect directly to power source using star connection | |
| Optional connection in VBAT1S mode, connect to ground if unused | |||
| 6 | OUT_P / OUT_N | Decouple with ≥ 1µF capacitor, placed as close as possible to device | |
| Wide traces capable of carrying high current | |||
| Minimize parasitic capacitance to ground to reduce switching losses | |||
| 7 | IOVDD | Can be shorted to VDD near the device pin if 1.8V is the required I/O supply. Recommended to use both C2 and C3 capacitors even when shorted, with the capacitors placed close to the VDD pin | |
| 8 | DREG | Decouple with ≥ 1µF capacitor as close as possible to device | |
| 9 | Digital | Avoid routing near high-voltage switching nodes like SW, OUT_P, OUT_N to avoid coupling | |
| 10 | Ground | Short BGND or PGND pins on top layer | |
| Avoid common inductance to ground plane between PGND or BGND and GND pins | |||
| Total parasitic inductance to PCB ground critical for device performance. Use multiple vias to minimize inductance | |||
| 11 | HW Selection Pins | Place HW setting resistors as close as possible to the IC. Parasitic capacitance after the resistor doesn't matter. |
