PRODUCTION DATA.
A recommended PCB layout for the TPSM82480 dual phase solution is shown below. It ensures best electrical and optimized thermal performance considering the following important topics:
- Both VOUT1 and VOUT2 must be connected to build a common VOUT structure.
- The input capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the appropriate pins of the device. This provides low resistive and inductive paths for the high di/dt input current. The input capacitance is split, as is the VIN connection, to avoid interference between the input lines.
- The VOUT regulation loop is closed with COUT and its ground connection. To avoid PGND noise crosstalk, PGND is kept split for the regulation loop. If a ground layer or plane is used, a direct connection by vias, as shown, is recommended. Otherwise the connection of COUT to GND must be short for good load regulation.
- The FB node is sensitive to dv/dt signals. Therefore the resistive divider should be placed close to the FB (and RS pin in case of using R3) pin, avoiding long trace distance.
