Careful PC board layout is critical to achieve clean and
stable operation. The switching power stage requires
particular attention. Follow these guidelines for good
PC board layout:
1) Place decoupling capacitors as close to the IC as
2) Connect input and output capacitors to the power
possible. Keep power ground plane (connected to
PGND) and signal ground plane (connected to
GND) separate.
ground plane; connect all other capacitors to the
signal ground plane.
