Note: The start winding of the inductor, as shown in
the figures as a black dot, must be connected to the DC/DC converter
switch pin, SW, to minimize capacitive coupling to the surrounding
area.
Note: The red dot indicates where the feedback sense
must be placed for the best DC regulation. For a single L-C
configuration, the feedback sense is placed near the VOUT
capacitors. For a second L-C filter design, the feedback sense is
placed near the load after the VOUT_FILT capacitors.
Note: The ferrite bead can be
placed closer to the device as long as it is not placed
between the inductor and output capacitors. Placing the ferrite bead
further away avoids capacitive and electromagnetic coupling to the
output of the ferrite bead. If the ferrite bead is placed in the
keep out area, the filtering effect of the ferrite bead is greatly
reduced. If the ferrite bead is routed through a via to the back
side of the board, make sure adequate ground plane between the
layers if the ferrite bead are in this area.
