Layout Guidelines

The performance of switching converters heavily depends on the quality of the PCB layout. The following guidelines will help users design a PCB with the best power conversion performance, thermal performance, and minimize generation of unwanted EMI.

  • Put the Q1, D1, and RS components on the board first.
  • Use a small size ceramic capacitor for COUT.
  • Make the switching loop (COUT to D1 to Q1 to RS to COUT) as small as possible.
  • Leave a copper area near the D1 diode for thermal dissipation.
  • Put the device near the RS resistor.
  • Put the CVCC capacitor as near the device as possible between the VCC and PGND pins.
  • Use a wide and short trace to connect the PGND pin directly to the center of the sense resistor.
  • Connect the CS pin to the center of the sense resistor. If necessary, use vias.
  • Connect a filter capacitor between CS pin and power ground trace.
  • Connect the COMP pin to the compensation components (RCOMP and CCOMP).
  • Connect the CCOMP capacitor to the power ground trace.
  • Connect the AGND pin directly to the analog ground plane. Connect the AGND pin to the RUVLOB, RT, CSS, and RFBB components.
  • Connect the exposed pad to the AGND and PGND pins under the device.
  • Connect the GATE pin to the gate of the Q1 FET. If necessary, use vias.
  • Make the switching signal loop (GATE to Q1 to RS to PGND to GATE) as small as possible.
  • Add several vias under the exposed pad to help conduct heat away from the device. Connect the vias to a large ground plane on the bottom layer.
