Layout Guide
PCB layout is very important to achieve reliable
operation, good EMI, and good thermal
performance. Follow these guidelines to optimize
performance.
1) Minimize the loop area formed by the input
capacitor, IC part, freewheeling diode,
inductor and output capacitor.
2) Place the power inductor far away from the
input filter.
3) Add a capacitor in the several-hundred pF
range between the FB and source pins, as
close as to the IC as possible.
4) Connect the exposed pad with the Drain pin
to a large copper area to improve thermal
performance.
