Figure 6. Design Example: 5V to 18V Input to 2.5V/8A at 550kHz
• 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).
When laying out a printed circuit board without a ground
plane, use the following checklist to ensure proper opera-
tion of the controller. These items are also illustrated in
Figure 7.
• Segregate the signal and power grounds. All small
signal components should return to the SGND pin at
one point, which is then tied to the PGND pin.
• Connect the input capacitor(s) CIN close to the IC. This
capacitor carries the MOSFET AC current.
• Keep the high dV/dT SW, BOOST and TG nodes away
from sensitive small-signal nodes.
• Connect the INTVCC decoupling capacitor CVCC closely
to the INTVCC and PGND pins.
• Connect the top driver boost capacitor CB closely to
the BOOST and SW pins.
• Connect the VIN pin decoupling capacitor CF closely to
the VIN and PGND pins.
