7.4.1 Layout Guidelines

The performance of switching converters heavily depends on the quality of the PCB layout. Poor PCB design can cause among others converter instability, load regulation problems, noise or EMI issues. Do not use thermal relieved connections in the power path for VCC because the thermal relieved connections add significant inductance.

  • Place the VCC and BIAS capacitors close to the corresponding device pins. Connect the capacitors with short and wide traces to minimize inductance as the capacitors carry high peak currents. Connect the VCC capacitors ground to power ground (PGND) and the BIAS capacitors ground to analog ground (AGND).
  • Place CSA and CSB filter resistors and capacitors close to the corresponding device pins to minimize noise coupling between the filter and the device. Route the traces to the sense resistor RCS, which is placed close to the inductor, as differential pair and surrounded by ground to avoid noise coupling. Use Kelvin connections to the sense resistor.
  • Place the compensation network RCOMP and CCOMP as well as the frequency setting resistor RRT close to the corresponding device pins and connect them with short traces to avoid noise coupling. Connect the analog ground pin AGND to these components.
  • Place the ATRK resistor RATRK (when used) close to the ATRK pin and connect RATRK to AGND.
  • The layout of following components is not as critical:
    • Soft-Start capacitor CSS
    • DLY capacitor CDLY
    • ILIM/IMON resistor and capacitor RILIM and CILIM
    • CFG1, CFG2 and SYNCOUT resistors
    • UVLO/EN resistors
  • Place the filter VOUT capacitors (small size ceramic) close to the VOUT-pin. Use short and wide traces to minimize the power stage loop COUT to VOUT connection to avoid high voltage spikes.
  • Connect the PGND-pin connection with short and wide traces to the VOUT and VI capacitors ground to minimize inductance causing high voltage spikes.
  • TI recommends connecting the AGND and PGND pin directly to the exposed pad (EP) to form a star connection at the device.
  • Connect the device exposed pad (EP) with several vias to a ground plane to conduct heat away.
  • Separate power and signal traces and use a ground plane to provide noise shielding.

To spread the heat generated by the converter and the inductor, place the inductor away from the converter. However the longer the trace between the inductor and the converter the higher the EMI and noise emissions. For highest efficiency, connect the inductor by wide and short traces to minimize resistive losses.
