9.4.1 Layout Guidelines

A proper layout is critical for the operation of any switched mode power supply, especially at high switching frequencies. Therefore, the PCB layout of the TPSM8286xx demands careful attention to make sure of best performance. A poor layout can lead to issues like the following:

  • Bad line and load regulation
  • Instability
  • Increased EMI radiation
  • Noise sensitivity

Refer to the Five Steps to a Great PCB Layout for a Step-Down Converter analog design journal for a detailed discussion of general best practices. The following are specific recommendations for the TPSM8286xx:

  • Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and PGND pins of the device. This placement is the most critical component placement. Route the input capacitor directly to the VIN and PGND pins avoiding vias.
  • Place the output capacitor close to the VOUT and PGND pins and route directly avoiding vias.
  • Place R4 close to the VSET/VID pin to minimize noise pickup.
  • Take special care to avoid noise being induced. Keep the trace away from SW. The sense traces connected to the VOS pin is a signal trace.
  • Directly connect the AGND and PGND pins together on the top PCB layer.
  • Refer to Figure 9-28 for an example of component placement, routing, and thermal design.
  • See the recommended land pattern for the TPSM8286xx shown at the end of this data sheet. For best manufacturing results, create the pads as solder mask defined (SMD) when some pins (such as VIN, VOUT, and PGND) are connected to large copper planes. Using SMD pads keeps each pad the same size and avoids solder pulling the device during reflow.
