12.2 PCB layout example
Figure 7 shows a PCB layout example for the application schematic in Figure 6.
A double-sided FR-4 board of 1.6mm thickness is used. This PCB has a ground plane on
the bottom layer. Additionally, there are ground areas on the component side of the board
to ensure sufficient grounding of critical components. A large number of via holes
connect the top layer ground areas to the bottom layer ground plane.
