Figure 12. Recommended PCB Layout Diagram
• Place the resistor feedback divider RFB1, RFB2 close to
VOUTSENSE1+ and VOUTSENSE1– pins for channel 1, or
VFB2 pin for channel 2, so that the feedback voltage
tapped from the resistor divider will not be disturbed by
noise sources. Route remote sense PCB traces (use a
pair of wires closely together for differential sensing in
channel 1) directly to the terminals of output capacitors
for best output regulation.
• Place decoupling capacitors CITH2 next to the ITH and
SGND pins with short, direct trace connections.
• Use sufficient isolation when routing a clock signal into
the MODE/PLLIN pin or out of the CLKOUT pin, so that
the clock does not couple into sensitive pins.
• Place the ceramic decoupling capacitor CINTVCC between
the INTVCC pin and SGND and as close as possible to
the IC.
• Place the ceramic decoupling capacitor CDRVCC close
to the IC, between the combined DRVCC1,2 pins and
PGND.
• Filter the VIN input to the LTC3876 with an RC filter.
Place the filter capacitor close to the VIN pin.
• If vias have to be used, use immediate vias to connect
components to the SGND and PGND planes of LTC3876.
Use multiple large vias for power components.
