9.5.1 Layout Guidelines

A proper layout is critical for the operation of a switched mode power supply, even more so at high switching frequencies. Therefore, the PCB layout of the TPS629210-Q1 demands careful attention to make sure proper operation and to get the performance specified. A poor layout can lead to issues like the following:

  • Poor regulation (both line and load)
  • Stability and accuracy weaknesses
  • Increased EMI radiation
  • Noise sensitivity

See GUID-C1BE51D3-5740-4D7F-B942-A7ECE5AA9A3F.html#GUID-0D4BA0C9-42ED-46A2-8A7F-2EDDF7B995D4 for the recommended layout of the TPS629210-Q1, which is designed for common external ground connections. The input capacitor must be placed as close as possible between the VIN and GND pin of the TPS629210-Q1.

Provide low inductive and resistive paths for loops with high di/dt. Therefore, paths conducting the switched load current must be as short and wide as possible. Provide low capacitive paths (with respect to all other nodes) for wires with high dv/dt. Therefore, the input and output capacitance must be placed as close as possible to the IC pins and parallel wiring over long distances as well as narrow traces must be avoided. Loops that conduct an alternating current must outline an area as small as possible, as this area is proportional to the energy radiated.

Sensitive nodes like FB and VOS must be connected with short wires and not nearby high dv/dt signals (for example, SW). As they carry information about the output voltage, they also must be connected as close as possible to the actual output voltage (at the output capacitor). The FB resistors, R1 and R2, must be kept close to the IC and connect directly to those pins and the system ground plane. The same applies for the S-CONFIG/MODE and VSET programming resistors.

The package uses the pins for power dissipation. Thermal vias on the VIN, GND, and SW pins help to spread the heat through the PCB.

In case any of the digital inputs (EN or S-CONF/MODE pins) must be tied to the input supply voltage at VIN, the connection must be made directly at the input capacitor as indicated in the schematics.

The recommended layout is implemented on the EVM and shown in the TPS629210-Q1EVM User's Guide.
