10.1 Layout Guidelines

As for all switching power supplies, especially those running at high switching frequency and high currents, layout is an important design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator can suffer from instability and noise problems. To maximize efficiency, switching rise time and fall time are very fast. To prevent radiation of high-frequency noise (for example, EMI), proper layout of the high-frequency switching path is essential. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the SW1 and SW2 pins, and always use a ground plane under the switching regulator to minimize interplane coupling. The input capacitor needs to be close to the VIN pin and the PGND to reduce the input supply current ripple.

The most critical current path for buck converter portion is from the switching FET at the buck side, through the rectifier FET at the buck side to the PGND, then the input capacitors, and back to the input of the switching FET. This high current path contains nanosecond rise time and fall time, and should be kept as short as possible. Therefore, the input capacitor for power stage must be close to the input of the switching FET and the PGND terminal of the rectifier FET.

The most critical current path for boost converter portion is from the switching FET at the boost side, through the rectifier FET at boost side, then the output capacitors, and back to ground of the switching FET. This high current path contains nanosecond rise time and fall time, and should be kept as short as possible. Therefore, the output capacitor needs not only to be close to the VOUT pin, but also to the PGND pin to reduce the overshoot at the SW2 pin and the VOUT pin.

The traces from the output current sensing resistor to the ISP pin and the ISN pin must be in parallel and close to each other to avoid noise coupling.

The PGND plane and the AGND plane are connected at the terminal of the capacitor at the VCC pin. Thus the noise caused by the MOSFET driver and parasitic inductance does not interfere with the AGND and internal control circuit.

To get good thermal performance, it is recommended to use thermal vias beneath the TPS55288 connecting the PGND pin to the PGND plane, and the VOUT pin to a large VOUT area separately.
