10.1 Layout Guidelines
Use the following layout recommendations when designing a PCB for the DRV8305.
- The DVDD and AVDD 1-μF bypass capacitors should connect directly to the adjacent GND pin to minimize loop impedance for the bypass capacitor.
- The CP1 and CP2 0.047-μF flying capacitors should be placed directly next to the DRV8305 charge pump pins.
- The VCPH 2.2-μF and VCP_LSD 1-μF bypass capacitors should be placed close to their corresponding pins with a direct path back to the DRV8305 GND net.
- The PVDD 4.7-μF bypass capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the DRV8305 PVDD supply pin.
- Use the proper footprint as shown in the Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information section.
- Minimize the loop length for the high-side and low-side gate drivers. The high-side loop is from the DRV8305 GH_X to the power MOSFET and returns through SH_X. The low-side loop is from the DRV8305 GL_X to the power MOSFET and returns through SL_X.
