Layout Considerations
Both the input capacitor and the output capacitor
should be placed as close as possible to the IC. This
can reduce the copper trace resistance which di-
rectly effects the input and output ripple. The
feedback resistor network should be kept close to
the FB pin to minimize copper trace connections
that can inject noise into the system. The ground
connection for the feedback resistor network should
connect directly to the GND pin or to an analog
ground plane that is tied directly to the GND pin.
The inductor and the Schottky diode should be
placed as close as possible to the switch pin to
minimize the noise coupling to the other circuits,
especially the feedback network.
PIN Diode Driver
The SP4446 can be used as PIN diode driver as
shown in Figure. 2.

APPLICATION INFORMATION: Continued
Two Resistors (R₁=1MΩ, R₂=42.2KΩ) are used
to program the output voltage to be 30V. When
input voltage is 3.3V or 5V, it can supply a
maximum current of 3mA and 5mA to the load.
Load Disconnect in Shutdown
When SP4446 is shut down, the load is still
connected to the input. In applications that re-
quire output isolation during shutdown, an ex-
ternal PNP transistor (for example MMBT2907A)
can be added as shown in Figure 3.

Fig. 3. Load Disconnect in Shutdown
When the SP4446 is active, the voltage set at the
emitter of the transistor exceeds the input volt-
age, forcing the transistor into the saturation
region. When the SP4446 is shut down, the input
voltage exceeds the emitter voltage, thus the
transistor becomes inactive and provides high-
impedance isolation between the input and load.
Efficiency will be slightly sacrificed because of
the saturation voltage and base current of the PNP
transistor.
