PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS4005x provides separate signal ground (SGND) and power ground (PGND) pins. It is important that circuit grounds are properly separated. Each ground must consist of a plane to minimize its impedance if possible. The high power noisy circuits such as the output, synchronous rectifier, MOSFET driver decoupling capacitor (BP10), and the input capacitor must be connected to PGND plane at the input capacitor.
Sensitive nodes such as the FB resistor divider, RT, and ILIM must be connected to the SGND plane. The SGND plane must only make a single point connection to the PGND plane.
Component placement should ensure that bypass capacitors (BP10 and BP5) are located as close as possible to their respective power and ground pins. Also, sensitive circuits such as FB, RT, and ILIM should not be located near high dv/dt nodes such as HDRV, LDRV, BOOST, and the switch node (SW).
