PRODUCTION DATA
Input capacitors, output capacitors, and MOSFETs are the constituent components of the power stage of the buck-boost regulator and are typically placed on the top side of the PCB. The benefits of convective heat transfer are maximized when leveraging any system-level airflow. In a two-sided PCB layout, small-signal components are typically placed on the bottom side. Insert at least one inner plane, connected to ground, to shield, and isolate the small-signal traces from noisy power traces.
The DC/DC regulator has several high-current loops. Minimize the area of these loops to suppress generated switching noise and optimize switching performance.
