PRODUCTION DATA
1) The power ground should not disturb (i.e. mix with) the signal ground. The signal ground includes the small R’s and C’s around the controller (for COMP, FB, RT/CT, CS) and the controller ground pin. The power ground includes the input capacitors, current sense resistors, return for the Y-capacitor, and gate drive return via the PNP transistor Q6.
2) The primary-side power loop must be minimized. Use relatively wide traces. This loop includes the input capacitors (C2, C3), transformer primary winding (T1 pins 1, 3), switching MOSFET (Q5), and sense resistors (R24, R25). Do not use vias in this path.
3) The secondary-side power loop should be minimized. Use copper pours or very wide traces. This loop includes the output capacitors (C9, C10), transformer secondary winding (T1 pins 8/9, 10/11), and output rectifier diode (D11). If interconnection between layers is required use multiple vias to handle the high peak currents.
4) The AUX feedback loop should be minimized. This loop includes components C13, D13, and the transformer AUX winding (T1 pins 6, 5).
5) The loop of the high-voltage clamp must be minimized. This loop includes D1, D3, R2//R28, and D7. All these components should be on the same layer.
6) The Y-type capacitor from the isolation ground to the power ground (C14, C24) should route back to the single point ground without disturbing the signal ground around the controller.
7) The trace from the OUT pin (U1 pin 6) to the gate of the switching MOSFET (Q5-1) must be as short as possible and relatively wide. Do not use vias in this path.
8) The collector of the PNP gate pull-down transistor (Q6 pin 3) should route directly back to the single point ground without disturbing the signal ground around the controller.
9) The connection from the current sense resistors (R24/R25) to the low-pass filter (R21, C22) and on to the CS pin must be direct and it must avoid noisy signals. For example, do not route this trace near the MOSFET gate drive or SW node.
10) The loop formed by the R-C snubber (R4, C5) around the output rectifier diode (D11) should be minimized. Do not use vias in this path.
11) The VDD pin must have a ceramic capacitor (C18) located as close as possible.
12) The VREF pin must have a ceramic capacitor (C16) located as close as possible.
13) The compensation components (R18, C19, C20) must be located near the COMP pin.
14) The feedback divider components (R17, R19, R20) must be located near the FB pin.
15) The frequency setting components (R12, C15) must be located near the RT/CT pin.
