Note: The start winding of the inductor, as shown in the figures as a
black dot, must be connected to the DC/DC converter switch pin, SW,
to minimize capacitive coupling to the surrounding area.
Note: The red dot indicates where the feedback sense
must be placed for the best DC regulation. For a single L-C
configuration, the feedback sense is placed near the VOUT
capacitors. For a second L-C filter design, the feedback sense is
placed near the load after the VOUT_FILT capacitors.
Note: The ferrite bead can be
placed closer to the device as long as the ferrite bead is
not placed between the inductor and output
capacitors. Placing the ferrite bead further away avoids capacitive
and electromagnetic coupling to the output of the ferrite bead. If
the ferrite bead is placed in the keep out area, the filtering
effect of the ferrite bead is greatly reduced. If the ferrite bead
is routed through a via to the back side of the board, make sure
adequate ground plane between the layers if the ferrite bead are in
this area.
