PC Board Layout Checklist
When laying out a PC board follow one of the two sug-
gested approaches. The simple PC board layout requires
a dedicated ground plane layer. Also, for higher currents, a
multilayer board is recommended to help with heat sinking
of power components.
• The ground plane layer should not have any traces and
it should be as close as possible to the layer with the
LTC3610.
• Place CIN and COUT all in one compact area, close to
the LTC3610. It may help to have some components
on the bottom side of the board.
• Keep small-signal components close to the LTC3610.
• Ground connections (including LTC3610 SGND and
PGND) should be made through immediate vias to
the ground plane. Use several larger vias for power
components.
• Use a compact plane for the switch node (SW) to improve
cooling of the MOSFETs and to keep EMI down.
• Use planes for VIN and VOUT to maintain good voltage
filtering and to keep power losses low.
• Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper. Flood-
ing with copper reduces the temperature rise of power
components. Connect these copper areas to any DC
net (VIN, VOUT, GND or to any other DC rail in your
system).
