Application Information: continued
11) Place the VFB filter resistor in series with the
14) Place the VCC bypass capacitor as close as possible to
the VCC pin and connect it to the PGnd pin of the IC.
Connect the PGnd pin directly to the Gnd plane.
VFB pin (pin 16) right at the pin.
12) Place the VFB filter capacitor right at the VFB pin (pin
16).
15) Create a subground (local Gnd) plane preferably on
the PCB top layer and under the IC controller. Connect all
logic capacitor returns and the LGnd pin of the IC to this
plane. Connect the subground plane to the main Gnd
plane using a minimum of four (4) vias.
13) The “Droop” Resistor (embedded PCB trace) has to be
wide enough to carry the full load current.
