Recommended Layout
1 MHz switching frequency operation requires to minimize
trace length and impedance to ground on all 4 capacitors. A
ground plane should cover the area on the bottom side of the
PCB opposite to the IC and the bypass capacitors.
Capacitors Cin and Cout require short connection to ground
which can be done with multiple vias as shown on Figure 22.
When the driver is in the 1.5x charge pump mode, the

A square copper area matches the QFN16 exposed pad
(GND) which is connected by a trace to the pin 12 pad
(GND). A large via (metalized hole) centered in the square
pad provides a low impedance connection to the ground
plane on the opposite side of the PCB and allows the heat
dissipated by the driver IC to spread out resulting in
excellent thermal performance.
