10.1 Layout Guidelines

Each VM pin must be bypassed to ground using low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors with recommended values of 0.1 μF rated for VM. These capacitors should be placed as close to the VM pins as possible with a thick trace or ground plane connection to the device GND pin.

Additional bulk capacitance is required to bypass the high current path. This bulk capacitance should be placed such that it minimizes the length of any high current paths. The connecting metal traces should be as wide as possible, with numerous vias connecting PCB layers. These practices minimize inductance and allow the bulk capacitor to deliver high current.

Place a low-ESR ceramic capacitor between the CPL and CPH pins. This capacitor should be 47 nF, rated for VM, and be of type X5R or X7R. Additionally, place a low-ESR ceramic capacitor between the VCP and VM pins. This capacitor should be 1 µF, rated for 16 V, and be of type X5R or X7R.

The current sense resistors should be placed as close as possible to the device pins to minimize trace inductance between the device pin and resistors.
