PC Board Layout Guidelines
Careful PC board layout is critical to achieve minimal switching
losses and clean, stable operation. This is especially true when
multiple converters are on the same PC board where one circuit
can affect the other. For specific layout example of the
ISL1801EVAL1ZA evaluation board please contact Intersil sales
support with your needs.
Mount all of the power components on the top side of the board
with their ground terminals flush against one another, if possible.
Follow these guidelines for good PC board layout:
• Isolate the power components on the top side from the
sensitive analog components on the bottom side with a ground
shield. Use a separate PGND plane under the VOUT1 and VOUT2
sections (called PGND1 and PGND2). Avoid the introduction of
AC currents into the PGND1 and PGND2 ground planes. Run
the power plane ground currents on the top side only, if
possible.
• Use a star ground connection on the power plane to minimize
the crosstalk between VOUT1 and VOUT2.
• Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the ground
terminals. This practice is essential for stable, jitter-free
operation.
• Keep the power traces and load connections short. This practice
is essential for high efficiency. Using thick copper PC boards
(2oz vs 1oz) can enhance full-load efficiency by 1% or more.
Correctly routing PC board traces must be approached in terms
of fractions of centimeters, where a single mW of excess trace
resistance causes a measurable efficiency penalty.
• PHASE3 and GND connections to the synchronous rectifiers for
current limiting must be made using Kelvin-sense connections
to guarantee the current-limit accuracy. This is best done by
routing power to the MOSFETs from outside using the top
copper layer, while connecting PHASE traces inside
(underneath) the MOSFETs.
• When trade-offs in trace lengths must be made, it is preferable
to allow the inductor charging path to be made longer than the
