FIGURE 18. PC Board Layout
Layout is very important in switching regulator designs.
Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance
can generate voltage transients which can cause problems.
For minimal inductance and ground loops, the wires indicated
by heavy lines (in Figure 2 and Figure 3) should be wide
printed circuit traces and should be kept as short as pos-
sible. For best results, external components should be locat-
ed as close to the switcher IC as possible using ground plane
construction or single point grounding.
If open core inductors are used, special care must be taken
as to the location and positioning of this type of inductor. Al-
lowing the inductor flux to intersect sensitive feedback, IC
ground path, and C
OUT
wiring can cause problems.
When using the adjustable version, special care must be tak-
en as to the location of the feedback resistors and the asso-
ciated wiring. Physically locate both resistors near the IC, and
route the wiring away from the inductor, especially an open
core type of inductor.
