PRODUCTION DATA.
Power supply decoupling from VCC to ground is important for optimal operation of the bq78350-R1 device. To keep the loop area small, place this capacitor next to the IC and use the shortest possible traces. A large-loop area renders the capacitor useless and forms a small-loop antenna for noise pickup.
Ideally, the traces on each side of the capacitor must be the same length and run in the same direction to avoid differential noise during ESD. If possible, place a via near the VSS pin to a ground plane layer.
Placement of the RBI capacitor is not as critical. It can be placed further away from the IC.
