PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Step 1: V
IN
/GND Planes and Decoupling
1. Layout V
IN
and P
GND
planes as shown above
2. Ceramic capacitors should be placed right between V
IN
and P
GND
, and very close to the device for best
decoupling effect
3. Difference values / packages of ceramic capacitors
should be used to cover entire decoupling spectrum e.g.
1210, 0805, 0603 and 0402
4. Smaller capacitance value, closer to device V
IN
pin(s)
- better high frequency noise absorbing
Step 2: V
SWH
Plane
1. Connect output inductor to DrMOS with large plane to
lower the resistance
2. If any snubber network is required, place the
components as shown above and the network can be
placed at bottom
Step 3: V
CIN
/V
DRV
Input Filter
1. The V
CIN
/V
DRV
input filter ceramic cap should be placed
very close to IC. It is recommended to connect two caps
separately.
2. C
VCIN
cap should be placed between pin 3 and pin 4
(C
GND
of driver IC) to achieve best noise filtering.
3. C
VDRV
cap should be placed between pin 28 (P
GND
of
driver IC) and pin 29 to provide maximum instantaneous
driver current for low side MOSFET during switching
cycle
4. For connecting C
VCIN
analog ground, it is recommended
to use large plane to reduce parasitic inductance.
Step 4: BOOT Resistor and Capacitor Placement
1. These components need to be placed very close to IC,
right between PHASE (pin 7) and BOOT (pin 5).
2. To reduce parasitic inductance, chip size 0402 can be
used.
