Preliminary Product Information
1MHz, 800mA Synchronous Buck Converter
With Power Good Detector & LDO
1. The most critical aspect of the layout is the placement of the input capacitor C2. It
must be placed as close as possible to the AT1367A/B/C/D to reduce the input
ripple voltage.
2. Power loops on the input and output of the converter should be laid out with the
shortest and widest traces possible. The longer and narrower the trace, the higher
resistance and inductance it will have. The length of traces in series with the
capacitors increases its ESR and ESL and reduces their effectiveness at high
frequency.
3. The OUT1 pin should connect to C1 directly. And the route should be away from
the noise source, such as inductor of SW line.
4. Grounding all components at the same point may effectively reduce the occurrence
of loop.
