4. Connect the ground terminals of the Compensation
capacitor directly to the ground of the fast feedback filter
capacitor to prevent common mode noise from effecting
the PWM comparator.
5. Place the output filter capacitor(s) as close to the load as
possible and connect the ground terminal to pin 14 (LGnd).
6. To implement adaptive voltage positioning, connect
both slow and fast feedback pins 16 (V
FB
) and 8 (V
FFB
) to
the regulator output right at the inductor terminal. Connect
inductor to the output capacitors via a trace with the fol-
lowing resistance:

7. If DC regulation is to be optimized (at the expense of
degraded transient regulation), adaptive voltage position-
ing can be disabled by connecting to V
FB
pin directly to the
load with a separate trace (remote sense).
8. Place 5V input capacitors close to the switching MOSFET
and synchronous MOSFET.

This causes the output voltage to be +40mV with no load,
and -40mV with a full load, improving regulator transient
response. This trace must be wide enough to carry the full
output current. (Typical trace is 1.0 inch long, 0.17 inch
wide). Care should be taken to minimize any additional
losses after the feedback connection point to maximize reg-
ulation.
