An example of a proper layout for the TPS922050/1 device is shown in 8-Pin WSON Top View Layout Example.
- Creating a large GND plane for good electrical and thermal performance is
important.
- The VIN and GND traces should be as wide as possible to reduce trace impedance.
Wide traces have the additional advantage of
providing excellent heat dissipation.
- Thermal vias can be used to connect the top-side GND plane to additional
printed-circuit board (PCB) layers for heat
dissipation and grounding.
- The input capacitors must be located as close as possible to the VIN pin and
the GND pin.
- The VCC capacitor should be placed as close as possible to VCC pin to ensure
stable LDO output voltage.
- The SW trace must be kept as short as possible to reduce parasitic inductance
and thereby reduce transient voltage spikes. Short SW trace also reduces
radiated noise and EMI.
- Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
- The routing of CSN and CSP traces are recommended to be in parallel and kept as
short as possible and placed away from the high-voltage switching trace and the
ground shield.
- The compensation capacitor must be placed as close as possible to COMP pin so
as to prevent oscillation and system instability.
