APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
3. Keep the switching node, SW, away from all sensitive
smallsignalnodes.Therapidtransitionsontheswitching

PC Board Layout Checklist
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of
the LTC3642. Check the following in your layout:
V , and create increased output ripple.

4. Floodallunusedareaonalllayerswithcopper. Flooding
with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power
components. You can connect the copper areas to any

and input capacitor. The loop formed by these compo-
nents should be as small as possible. A ground plane
is recommended to minimize ground impedance.
DC net (V , V , GND or any other DC rail in your

system).
2. Connect the (+) terminal of the input capacitor, C , as
