With any switching regulator, circuit layout plays an important role in circuit performance. Wiring and parasitic inductances, as well as stray capacitances, are subjected to rapidly switching currents, which can result in unwanted voltage transients. To minimize inductance and ground loops, the length of the leads indicated by heavy lines (see Figure 16) must be minimized. Optimal results can be achieved by single-point grounding or by ground-plane construction. For the same reasons, the two programming resistors used in the adjustable version must be located as close as possible to the regulator to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short.
The large ground copper area helps heat transfer especially when many vias to ground plane are used.
