Layout

The board layout for the TPS54225EVM-538 and is shown in Figure 3-1 through Figure 3-6. The top layer contains the main power traces for VIN, VO and ground. Also on the top layer are connections for the pins of the TPS54225 and a large area filled with ground. Many of the signal traces are also located on the top side. The input decoupling capacitor are located as close to the IC as possible. The input and output connectors, test points and most of the components are located on the top side. R3, the 0-Ω resistor that connects VIN to VCC and R4, the power good pull up, are located on the back side. Analog ground and power ground are connected at a single point on the top layer near pin 5 of the TPS54225. The internal layer 1 is a split plane containing analog and power grounds. The internal layer 2 is primarily power ground. There are also a fill area of VIN and a trace routing VCC to the enable control jumper JP1. The bottom layer is primarily analog ground. There are also traces to connect VIN to VCC through R3, traces for the power good signal and the feedback trace from VOUT to the voltage setpoint divider network.
