Typical for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design; especially at high peak currents and switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator might show noise problems and duty cycle jitter.
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the input pin for good input voltage filtering. The inductor and diode should be placed as close as possible to the switch pin to minimize the noise coupling into other circuits. Because the feedback pin and network is a high-impedance circuit, the feedback network should be routed away from the inductor. The feedback pin and feedback network should be shielded with a ground plane or trace to minimize noise coupling into this circuit.
Wide traces should be used for connections in bold as shown in Figure 10-1. A star ground connection or ground plane minimizes ground shifts and noise.
