To obtain optimal performance, the decoupling
capacitor from the IN pin to the GND pin and the
output filter capacitor from the OUT pin to the
GND pin should be placed as close as possible to
the device, with short trace runs to both IN, OUT,
and GND.
- All low current GND connections should be kept
separate from the high current charge or discharge paths from the battery. Use a
single-point ground technique incorporating both the small signal ground path
and the power ground path.
- The high current charge paths into the IN pin and
from the OUT pin must be sized appropriately for
the maximum charge current in order to avoid
voltage drops in these traces.
