PRELIMINARY
■PC Board Layout Guideline
PCB layout is very important for DC-DC operation. Please follow the notes and sample layout below.
• Create a power ground island consisting of the input and output capacitor grounds and GND pins.
• Make the lines in the high-current loop as wide as possible and placing the inductor, rectifier diode,
• Position the input filter capacitor C3 as close as possible to the VCC and ground pins, and assure
• Keep the length of the line between the OUT pin and the switching device (MOSFET or other
• The inductor and rectifier diode need to be close with OUT pin.
• Place the feedback resistor – R2 as close to the IN1- pin as possible. The divider’s center trace
• Minimize the length and maximize the width of the traces between the output capacitors and the load
