The printed-circuit-board (PCB) layout is an important step to maintain the high performance of the TPS62A0x device.
- Place the input and output capacitors and the
inductor as close as possible to the IC. This action keeps the power traces
short. Routing these power traces direct and wide results in low trace
resistance and low parasitic inductance.
- Connect the low side of the input and output
capacitors properly to the GND pin to avoid a ground potential shift.
- Take special care to avoid noise being induced.
The sense traces connected to FB is a signal trace. Keep these traces away
from SW nodes.
- Use common ground. GND layers can be used for
shielding.
See Figure 9-14 for the recommended PCB layout.
