Layout Guidelines
Key to a good layout for the photoflash capacitor charger circuit
is to keep the parasitics minimized on the power switch loop
(transformer primary side) and the rectifier loop (secondary side).
Use short, thick traces for connections to the transformer primary
and SW pin. It is important that the ¯ D ¯ ¯ ¯ O ¯ ¯¯ N ¯ ¯ E ¯ signal trace and other
signal traces be routed away from the transformer and other
switching traces, in order to minimize noise pickup. In addition,
high voltage isolation rules must be followed carefully to avoid
breakdown failure of the circuit board.

Avoid placing any ground plane area underneath the transformer
secondary and diode, to minimize parasitic capacitance.
For low threshold logic (<1.2 V) add 1 nF capacitors across the
CHARGE and TRIGGER pins to GND to avoid malfunction due
to noise.
Connect the EE package PAD to the ground pad for better ther-
mal performance. Use ground planes on the top and bottom layers
below the IC and connect them through multiple thermal vias.
Refer to the figures on page 18 for recommended layout.
