PRODUCTION DATA.
As in every switch-mode-supply design, general layout rules apply.
NOTE
This guideline is the most important and is more important than the output loop.
The goal of the previously listed guidelines is a layout that minimizes emissions, maximizes EMI immunity, and maintains a safe operating area of the IC.
To minimize the spiking at the phase node for both the high-side (VIN – SWx) as well as the low-side (SWx – PGND), the decoupling of VIN is critical. Appropriate decoupling and thorough layout practices should ensure that the spikes never exceed the absolute maximum rating of the respective pin.
