As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents and high switching frequencies. Improper layout might show the symptoms of poor line or load regulation, ground and output voltage shifts, stability issues, unsatisfying EMI behavior or worsened efficiency. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current paths and for the power ground tracks. The input capacitors (C1, C2, C3), output capacitors (C4, C5), the inductors (L1, L2), and the rectifying diodes (D1, D2) should be placed as close as possible to the IC to keep parasitic inductances low. Use a wide power ground (PGND) plane. Connect the analog ground pin (AGND) to the PGND plane. Further, connect the PGND plane with the exposed thermal pad. Place the feedback dividers as close as possible to the control pin (boost converter) or the VREF pin (inverting converter) of the IC.
