Layout Considerations
For maximum efficiency, LT1370 switch rise and fall times
are made as short as possible. To prevent radiation and
high frequency resonance problems, proper layout of the
components connected to the switch node is essential. B
field (magnetic) radiation is minimized by keeping output
diode, switch pin and output bypass capacitor leads as
short as possible. Figure 3 shows recommended posi-
tions for these components. E field radiation is kept low by
minimizing the length and area of all traces connected to
the switch pin. A ground plane should always be used
under the switcher circuitry to prevent interplane
coupling.

PATH
HIGH
The high speed switching current path is shown schemati-
cally in Figure 4. Minimum lead length in this path is
essential to ensure clean switching and low EMI. The path
including the switch, output diode and output capacitor is
the only one containing nanosecond rise and fall times.
Keep this path as short as possible.
