10.1 Layout Guidelines
Proper board layout helps to ensure optimal performance of the LM3535 circuit. The following guidelines are recommended:
- Place capacitors as close as possible to the LM3535, preferably on the same side of the board as the device.
- Use short, wide traces to connect the external capacitors to the LM3535 to minimize trace resistance and inductance.
- Use a low resistance connection between ground and the GND pins of the LM3535. Using wide traces and/or multiple vias to connect GND to a ground plane on the board is most advantageous.
