PRODUCTION DATA
For the best overall performance, some layout guidelines should be followed. Place all circuit components on the same side of the circuit board and as near as practical to the respective linear regulator pins. Traces should be kept short and wide to reduce the amount of parasitic elements into the system. The actual width and thickness of traces will depend on the current carrying capability and heat dissipation required by the end system. An array of plated vias can be placed on the pad area underneath the TAB to conduct heat to any inner plane areas or to a bottom-side copper plane.
