the heat to move away from the IC and also ties the pad to
the ground plane through a low impedance path.
The switching components should be placed close to the
ISL6537A first. Minimize the length of the connections
between the input capacitors, C_IN, and the power switches
by placing them nearby. Position both the ceramic and bulk
input capacitors as close to the upper MOSFET drain as
possible. Position the output inductor and output capacitors
between the upper and lower MOSFETs and the load.
The critical small signal components include any bypass
capacitors, feedback components, and compensation
components. Place the PWM converter compensation
components close to the FB and COMP pins. The feedback
resistors should be located as close as possible to the FB
pin with vias tied straight to the ground plane as required.
Feedback Compensation - PWM Buck Converters
Figure 3 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage
(V_OUT) is regulated to the Reference voltage level. The error
amplifier output (V_E/A) is compared with the oscillator (OSC)
triangular wave to provide a pulse-width modulated (PWM)
wave with an amplitude of V_IN at the PHASE node. The
PWM wave is smoothed by the output filter (L_O and C_O).
