9.1 Layout Guidelines

9.1.1 PCB Layout and Thermal Considerations

The circuit in Functional Block Diagram serves as both a block diagram of the LM25574-Q1 and a typical application board schematic for the LM25574-Q1. In a buck regulator there are two loops where currents are switched very fast. The first loop starts from the input capacitors, to the regulator VIN pin, to the regulator SW pin, to the inductor then out to the load. The second loop starts from the output capacitor ground, to the regulator PGND pins, to the regulator IS pins, to the diode anode, to the inductor and then out to the load. Minimizing the loop area of these two loops reduces the stray inductance and minimizes noise and possible erratic operation. A ground plane in the PC board is recommended as a means to connect the input filter capacitors to the output filter capacitors and the PGND pins of the regulator. Connect all of the low power ground connections (CSS, RT, CRAMP) directly to the regulator AGND pin. Connect the AGND and PGND pins together through the topside copper trace. Place several vias in this trace to the ground plane.

The two highest power dissipating components are the re-circulating diode and the LM25574-Q1 regulator IC. The easiest method to determine the power dissipated within the LM25574-Q1 is to measure the total conversion losses (Pin – Pout) then subtract the power losses in the Schottky diode, output inductor and snubber resistor. An approximation for the Schottky diode loss is P = (1-D) x Iout x Vfwd. An approximation for the output inductor power is P = IOUT2 × R × 1.1, where R is the DC resistance of the inductor and the 1.1 factor is an approximation for the AC losses. If a snubber is used, an approximation for the damping resistor power dissipation is P = VIN2 × Fsw × Csnub, where Fsw is the switching frequency and Csnub is the snubber capacitor.

The most significant variables that affect the power dissipated by the LM25574-Q1 are the output current, input voltage and operating frequency. The power dissipated while operating near the maximum output current and maximum input voltage can be appreciable. The operating frequency of the LM25574-Q1 evaluation board has been designed for 300 kHz. When operating at 0.5 A output current with a 42 V input the power dissipation of the LM25574-Q1 regulator is approximately 0.36 W.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the LM25574-Q1 will vary with the application. The most significant variables are the area of copper in the PC board, and the amount of forced air cooling provided. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the LM25574-Q1 mounted in the evaluation board varies from 90°C/W with no airflow to 60°C/W with 900 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute). With a 25°C ambient temperature and no airflow, the predicted junction temperature for the LM25574-Q1 will be 25 + (90 × 0.36) = 57°C. If the evaluation board is operated at 0.5 A output current, 42 V input voltage and high ambient temperature for a prolonged period of time the thermal shutdown protection within the IC may activate. The IC will turn off allowing the junction to cool, followed by restart with the soft-start capacitor reset to zero.
